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):

surly when you talked to Leo you had to ask him here you could find the original artwork for the stripes?

also with the pics of the ute showing the splash and chicken strips is that the same ute but with a different pair of wheels and decal on each side?

Anyone remember these or have actually seen these on a car back in the day and where?

No, never asked him. Not really of any interest as they are not a Sandman thing, meant for normal utes or vans. He's been gone for so long I doubt he'd know where it was now!

I think you are onto something, both sides of the car have redwalls, it is a bench seat car with no headrests, 202 Kingswood. Look at the water marks around the turntable, I reckon they are the same in both photos.
