Auto Emblems in Australia - The Ivan Hoffmann Collection

This web-site presents emblems (also referred to as badges, mascots, scripts, logos etc.) displayed on automobiles since the introduction of the horseless carriage and have been collected by Ivan Hoffmann. The Collection is mostly "uncommon" early emblems of marques and contains about 300 makes of automobiles. In July 2024 this Collection was donated by Ivan Hoffmann to the National Motor Muesum, Birdwood, South Australia.

Pellandini

Pellandini is an Australian sports coupe made by Peter Pellandine in Adelaide from 1970-1978 (Note: the car and the maker are spelt differently). The two doors hinged upwards and the engine/cargo compartment was under a side-hinged rear lid. Not many cars were manufactured.
