MOTORS & MASTERPIECES OUR GREAT SOUTHERN LAND

THE INAUGURAL Motors & Masterpieces is going to showcase the very best of Australia’s automotive past, with the Great Southern Land category one of ten showcases that will take over the Melbourne Showgrounds from November 22 to 24.

Our homegrown industry was one of which we can be incredibly proud, producing models that stacked up on the world stage.

While the dollars and cents ultimately curtailed manufacturing on these shores, over a century of local design and production showed what the Land Downunder was capable of.

There is perhaps no more iconic brand than General Motors-Holden.

From humble beginnings, the marque became a powerhouse, with nameplates such as the Monaro, the Torana, the Kingswood, and the Commodore which led the brand through the early 1980s until the company was ultimately shuttered.
