Car museum

Came across this lovely car museum in Fremantle. Said to be the biggest private collection of old cars in the world.



They have a collection of old push cars as well. Some of us older grey haired chaps might actually recognize this from our not to distant past. I remember playing on one very similar to this except without the fold out back seat.

An old penny farthing & other bicycles were on display. I'm glad cycling has changed since those days.

Numerous examples of world records breakers. This first one went to about 300km/hr, the second to 850 ish bothe were world records. Also on display were numerous racing cars including Stirling Moss's Cooper!









Other very significant cars such as the first Benz, a Model T Ford and even a few huge cadillacs.




Finally what would an exhibition be without toys. These and others were made from scrap parts and won numerous awards.
