The Chevrolet Fleetmaster was also produced by General Motors-Holden's in Australia.[2] As Holden had carried over the body tooling from its 1940 models, the Australian sedan differed from its US counterpart in having a different body with rear-hinged back doors and a larger trunk.[3] The grilles fitted to the Australian models were the same as those used on the US models.[4] Australian Fleetmasters were produced in 1946, 1947 and 1948 models.[2] Шаблон:-
