You might recognise this utility from one of its three very different iconic looks.

It’s no secret that many of Australia’s most accoladed cars were built in the Goulburn Valley.

Many have featured in the pages of Street Machine and taken out top gongs at MotorEx and Summernats events.
But after the spotlights have dimmed, they retreat to the places they’re garaged, making way for new masterpieces to earn crowns while their legend is embedded in history.
Rounding them and others up — some which took out their titles several decades ago — from all corners of the country into one exhibition would be as an iconic a feat as the cars are themselves.
You’d have to see it to believe it.
And now you can.
“We’ve brought all the old-school Street Machines of the Year to put this exhibition together with Greg Maskell of Maskell’s Customs and Classics to get some of the hidden gems out of the garage and back out on display,” MOVE’s Andrew Church said.
The icons on display in Kialla for these summer holidays are not just of Street Machine fame, but are MotorEx winners and top-placegetters, and Summernats champions.
There are almost 20 iconic cars featured in the exhibition.

Car nuts are probably familiar with G Force Junkie, a 1968 HK GTS Monaro, or Rod Hadfield’s The Castlemaine Kid, a 454 Chev-powered EK Holden panel van.
Now they have a chance to see them under the same roof, along with many others, including the first-ever winners of Street Machine of the Year and MotorEx.
The exhibition runs for the duration of the summer school holidays, but has already proven a popular drawcard for visitors to the Goulburn Valley.
“Visitation is up 30 per cent on the same time as last year, which is partly linked to the Icons display and also to the growing popularity of MOVE,” MOVE’s Marcus Cook said.
MOVE is open from 10am to 4pm daily. Entry to The Icons exhibition is included with museum entry fee.
