LIST OF MAKES OF CARS MADE IN AUSTRALIA
(Note: Some Australian made cars only got as far as a prototype, others built a few cars others had major manufacture, some made more than one model)
Some bicycle manufactures diversified to become early automobile manufactures. Early automobiles were often little more that a bicycle (with more wheels and a motor); or a horse-drawn carriage with a motor-unit attached instead of a horse; or a horse-drawn style carriage with a motor. Early automobiles had narrow tall wheels (for travel on the poorly made roads), a narrow high body and on the sides where running boards, so as to get into the car more easily.
