National Holden Motor Museum, Echuca, Victoria (VIC)

The Holden Museum in Echuca is dedicated to preserving the models and their memories. From the day in 1948 when the first Holden 48-215(FX) emerged from the production line, Holden arose to become the colossus of the Australian Motor Car Industry.

Take a walk down memory lane and through the history of a company that put Australia on wheels. Echuca is fortunate to have one of the nation’s largest collections of Holdens, putting this private Museum amongst the largest single brand car museums in Australia. See around 50 vehicles that showcase nearly 70 years of Australia’s Own, from original and restored motor cars, to unique prototypes, historic film footage, a photographic exhibition, as well as Holden and Holden Dealer memorabilia. The vehicles and memorabilia are courtesy of Holden Ltd, Holden enthusiasts and private collectors.

The Museum was opened in July 1993 and is the oldest continuously operating Holden Museum. Most of the vehicles on display are privately owned and some (like our rare prototypes and concept cars) are owned by Holden. Cars are usually on loan from one to three years. This ensures our displays are always changing so many patrons are repeat visitors.

They offer a guided tour finishing with an airbag demonstration.
