FB (1960 to 1961)

The Holden FB (produced between 1960 and 1961) was a landmark model that brought heavy American styling influence—specifically from the 1957 Chevrolet—to Australian shores with its prominent rear fins and wraparound windscreen. In the 2026 Australian market, the FB is a highly prized vintage asset, with market values for a well-maintained Special Sedan typically ranging from $28,000 to $48,000 AUD, while pristine Special Station Sedans (wagons) and rare Utilities can fetch between $60,000 and $85,000 AUD. Its desirability is driven by its "Jet Age" aesthetic and its reputation as the final Holden designed specifically for the 138-cubic-inch "Grey Motor" before the EK introduced automatic options, appealing to a solid buyer pool of traditional classic collectors, mid-century stylists, and restoration specialists. Locally, liquidity is strongest for cars finished in period-correct "Magic Mirror" acrylic colours like Royal Glow or Silver Mint that retain their unique orange-band speedometers, as 2026 buyers prioritise original interior flourishes and structural purity over modernised street-machine builds.
