HQ Splash and Chicken

[Nocturne]

Are you certain this is the 1973 Melbourne motor show? Just helps to nail down some dates! They must have built this Chicken van as the De-van must have not been ready for the Melbourne 1973 show (Feb-Mar) as it was being resprayed and having the chicken logo put on. De-van was dispayed late in 1972 in its original format, so that makes sense.

I just found my notes from when I talked to Leo last year, he said the splash and chicken logos were around the design dept when he first arrived in 1968-1969.

Here's a bit more of the page (Wheels May 1973):
