In late 2019 I went to the fantastic Historic Commercial Vehicle Display at Yarra Glen Racecourse. 

It was such an eye opener to see so many amazing vehicles in one place that you rarely see on the road. 

The sort of vehicles that are restored, preserved and maintained by true enthusiasts. Definitely not the kind of vehicles that you can have in the back shed for a Sunday drive! 

As usual, I was drawn to some of the details of these magnificent workhorses. 

Many details and styling cues mirror those from similar era passenger cars. Even though they were “only” commercial vehicles, the designers clearly still had lots of input. 

The Historic Commercial Vehicle Display is definitely a show to check out if you are interested in all types of vintage transport.
