Uncover stories of innovation, industry and passion through the National Museum's motor vehicle collection. It represents more than 100 years of automotive history and is a window into Australian society and culture.
The collection ranges from the luxury 1913 Delaunay-Belleville tourer to the 2017 Holden Calais, one of the last vehicles off the Holden production line.
The cars are renowned for their place in Australia's automotive history and their remarkable stories.
They include the Daimler landaulette that transported Queen Elizabeth around Australia during her first Royal tour in 1954, a 1925 Citroën tourer which was the first car to travel around Australia and the Sundowner Bean car, driven from London to Melbourne in 1928.
