Holden Station Sedan and equipment for the Road Safety Council of Queensland
Queensland State Archives posted a photo:
The Holden FE is an automobile which was produced by Holden in Australia from 1956 to 1958. It was also the first Holden to be assembled in New Zealand, where General Motors New Zealand built their first example on 31 January 1957.
The FE models were built on a longer wheelbase than the FJ series Holdens which they replaced and they featured totally different styling. A single piece windscreen was now fitted and other improvements included a 12 volt electrical system, improved steering, a front stabiliser bar and wider wheel rims.
When introduced in July 1956, the FE range consisted of the Holden Standard Sedan, Holden Business Sedan and Holden Special Sedan, names designating different levels of equipment and interior trim. The existing Fj series Holden Utility and Holden Panel Van models continued alongside the new sedans, with the FE Utility replacing its FJ counterpart in February

Road Safety’s New Aim
To “Save a Life a Day on the Queen’s highway” during the Royal tour year is the new aim of the Australian Road Safety Council.
Before a capacity attendance in the Brisbane City Hall the chairman of the Australian Road Safety Council (Mr T. G. Paterson) made an impassioned plea to all Australians to show their appreciation and enjoy life in a practical way by safer and more courteous behaviour on the roads.
“In this year of national rejoicing,” he said, “let all the Queen’s subjects who use her highways know that our Sovereign’s first concern is the welfare of her people, and that we could make her no better gift than the lives of at least 365 Australians who otherwise would be sacrificed in the senseless carnage of the roads.”

Mr Paterson said that road accidents, like humanity’s other great problems, could not be

Road Council Safety Display
With a realisation of the toll of the road, the Queensland Road Safety Council had a unique display at the show, and it was viewed by a large crowd of people at each session that was conducted.
The Miles driver training machine was shown. The machine is operated similarly to a vehicle on the road and the reactions of the driver are shown on a screen. On the screen are various road signs.
The machine tests both the ability of the driver and his reactions, that is, the lag of time between seeing the danger and telling himself to act.
A number of charts provide illustrations of the carelessness exercised by both drivers and pedestrians. “Life is precious – watch your step,” is the caption of one poster.

New Slogan For Road Safety Campaign
Cairns: A new slogan to supersede “death is so permanent” will come into force next year, which will appropriately tie in with the forthcoming Royal tour. The slogan will be: “Let courtesy reign on the Queen’s highway.”
Mr. T. G. Patterson, chairman of the Australian Road Safety Council, who sailed in the Elsanna yesterday for a holiday cruise to Thursday Island, said this in Cairns.
Mr. Patterson said the object of the campaign would be to save a life a day, and reduce the road toll thereby by 365 lives a year.
Today’s road toll, he said, exceeds 1800 lives a year, but observation of the slogan and its concomitant message would bring this down to 1500 lives a year.
