Wow....... but what does the code mean next to 'TOP'?

Is that a 'Holden' plate frame or one from the dealer?

Hey Sunny Tim, what did that insert code mean again? I have forgotten.

Pretty sure that is the option code for the Hydra in the std ??

Plate ID as follows. Taken from the EK Factory Workshop Manual.

Body: The body ID No is a combination of the model No and body serial No with a suffix letter which signifies the plant at which the body was manufactured: A- Adelaide, M- Melbourne, S- Sydney, NZ- New Zealand. On left hand Drive vehicles the letters L.D are added.

Trim: The trim No's represent the paint colour and trim combination.

Paint: The paint No's represent exterior paint material and colour ID of the basic or lower colour.

Insert: The paint No's represent exterior paint material and colourt ID of the intermediate colour when 3 section colour styling is used.

Top: The top No's represent exterior paint material and colour ID of the roof or upper section of the body when it differs from the basic colour.

Regards John

Yeh I know, though with some wacky cars they put a number in the Top section? This one is all white!

Hi Tim.

PO 478A is the production option number for the Hydra-Matic auto trans in an EK Special sedan.

I've found 3 different ID codes for the EK Hydra, some have 225A as the body number while some have 225H, but the most common is 478A on the TOP or INSERT lines.

Knew I had spotted it somewhere!

In the early days I thought that number was related to side accessory flashes, as nearly every car I had with a flash had those numbers.

Some more recent pics with the wagon. I will detail the sedan when I finish the wagon.

Can someone tell me why Holden used the stainless metal trim around the front screen and painted it the same body colour, but deleted it on the rear windows, on the standard models.
There was no logic in there thinking on that one, in my opinion

....logic has nothing to do with it John...it was probably economics!

I never heard of an original Hydro 215?? HENS TEETH THERE!
