      Holden FE History

      Holden FE 1956-1958

      July 1956 saw the introduction of the very modern looking and more powerful Holden FE. Originally released in Sedan form only, by early 1957 Holden’s first Station wagon had been released. This was followed later in 1957 with the Holden FE Utility and Panel Van’s.

      The Holden FE had more power from it’s 132 cubic inch six cylinder engine than it’s predecessor due to larger valves and changes to the cylinder head porting. This increased power by 10bhp to 70bhp. There were many other improvements to the FE model including an oil bath air cleaner, steering modifications, a front stabiliser bar and different size tires.

      In late 1956, Holden started exporting cars in CKD (Completely knocked downed) form to New Zealand for assembly at their plant in Petone, Wellington.

      With a total production of 155,161 vehicles from July 1956 to May 1958, the Holden FE was the most successful Holden so far.
