Seriously 138 cu in....... The 48 215 holdens had a 132 cu in engine they were enlarged to 138 in the FB.

[@adriaandeleeuw8339]

oh I forgot it isnt a 48 215 either it is officially a "Holden 50-2106 Coupe utility".

Apologies. Didn't claim to be experts.

[@swagmanexplores7472]

Nope, Ford had the V8 ute since the mid 1930s

[@swagmanexplores7472]

Designed by Australian Lew Bandt and built in Geelong

[@davesclassicgaragetours]

Based on the 1933 Model 40, an American design.

[@romemancer7905]

Even the FX was designed under supervision at GM in the USA...For the Australian market...The Yanks had no confidence in the Aussies !!!
