Upper Middle Petrol Head:

Continuing the recent UMPH grey-motor theme is this exceptional EJ Special.  It has to be said that the car was spot-on in every regard, from its flawless - possibly original, by the looks of it - duco, right through to all the accessories that make Holden Specials , well ... special! I'm no expert but it looks to me like the car's been kitted out with every period accessory ever available for the EJ.  It's got bumper over-riders, mesh headlight protectors (not sure if they were a Holden option, though), white-wall tyres, paint protectors behind the exterior door handles, chrome door strips, a sun visor and last, but by no means least importantly, some classic spats!   It looks like the interior got the full treatment, too ;  the door cards and seats look particularly trick and there's even an ashtray in the back of the front pew.  I'm not sure there was much more you could've asked for way back in 1962!   U
