Was this built prior to 1955?

The owner builder was a guy from Western Australia by the name of Ross Coxson, and get this, he was only 19 years old.
Car was built from an Holden FJ wreck, using a few non-Holden bits including a Rugby chassis and Austin A50 bonnet.

Excellent detective work. I think you've leveraged Joćo's recent solve of another puzzle.  8)

Two points for you

Indeed it is.
The ease with which my puzzles are solved seems to be in inverse proportion to what I think is their difficulty!
i.e. those I think are easy stick around forever and those I think are nigh on impossible get solved almost instantly!
Well done.

Merged!
Correct spelling seems to be Coxson.
