MUSEUM OF VEHICLE EVOLUTION

|

Issue 497

NESTLED IN the Goulbourn Valley in Central Victoria, just south of Shepparton, is the Museum of Vehicle Evolution or MOVE for short. Recognised as one of the leading museums in the country.

MUSEUM OF VEHICLE EVOLUTION

The focus at MOVE is to tell the global evolution of modern motoring globally and Australia’s automotive history specifically, with exhibits highlighting a particular marque, style, era or country of origin.

Also at the museum is the Garth Wallace Harley-Davidson collection, showcasing a century of fully restored and survivor machines from the legendary American brand.

The Goulburn Valley is one of Australia’s vital regional and national transport hubs, with the industry growing alongside the vast agricultural activities in the region. The transport industry is a major employer, and today one in four larger commercial vehicles in Victoria are registered in the Goulburn Valley.

Within MOVE is the Kenworth Dealer Pavilion, housing around 50 trucks, buses and other commercial vehicles spanning a range of ages.

The pavilion highlights some of the leading lights of the local trucking and transport industry, telling the story of their lives, their businesses and the trucks they operated.

ALFA ROMEO SPIDER 1966-94

THE SHAPE introduced at Turin's 1966 Motor Show survived 28 turbulent years with just one significant restyle. Appropriately for a twin-cam, two-seat car it was called 'Duetto', and the man who won the competition to choose its name was rewarded with one of the first-built examples.
