Not trying to be a smartarse but it is a 48/215, commonly referred to as the FX. Holden started using alphabetical model designations with the FJ, the model after this.

From memory, the FJ was released the year after I was born, 1953. The major change was a revamped grill and different tail light configuration.
I was born in 52.

Cool Yea the grill went from horizontal to vertical bars or visa versa?
My fave were always the FC ute and sedan and EK wagon

Mum had an FJ and my first car was an FE. Still have fond memories of that old clunker.

There is an awful lot of Aussie baby boomers that owe their very existence to the FJ Holdens
