Hi,
I’m going to Melbourne very soon and was wondering if there is still a Ford Museum of any sort at Broadmeadows or Geelong. Thanks. |

No. The Ford Discovery centre in Geelong closed quite a few years ago.

Probs a bit out of the way, but there is the Gippsland Vehicle Collection located in Maffra, about 200km east of Melbs.
https://www.gippslandvehiclecollection.org.au/ Not specifically Fords, but they do have a varied collection.

Amazing Ford tractor museum in Nyah Victoria.
Not cars but an amazing collection of Ford tractors and a few trucks collected from all over the world.

I did the tour of his museum back-to-back with a factory tour of Broadmeadow's. This was circa 2003 when Broadmeadow's was at capacity.

I ended up going to the car museum at Launceston as it was part of our trip. They had a couple of nice Falcons there plus the HQ Monaro that almost fell off the Tasman bridge in Hobart in 1975 when one of the pillons was struck my a ship called the MV Lake Illawarra.
