The 21st Century hot rod reincarnation of one of Australia’s historic car icons today met its ancestors outside Holden’s Port Melbourne headquarters. Almost 20 members of the Early Model Holden Club Victoria parked outside Holden headquarters to park their beloved Holden FX and FJ vehicles alongside last year’s auto show hit, the EFIJY custom coupe. EFIJY was designed to pay homage to the original FJ Holden released in 1953, adding customcool, V8 Supercar power and leading edge technology into the mix. “Ever since we saw EFIJY in the media, we’ve wanted to see the car in the flesh so when we wereoffered the opportunity by Holden we jumped at the chance,” said organizer Rod Grummitt. “The club members absolutely love it.
