NGV Shifting Gear Exhibition

Post by Gonedaddy »

For anyone interested in the history of Australian automotive design, there's a great show on at the NGV Federation Square at the moment.

I went yesterday and the cars on display are mind blowing. Apart from some early film footage of them rolling off the production line, there's not a lot of FB/EK content in there, but the rest of the show more than makes up for it imho.

Here's a few pics..
