  • サマリー

  • Australians have a long-standing love affair with the automobile and when, in 1948, the first Holden came off the production line, our cars also became part of our national pride.

    Our cars do more than take us from A to B, they are freedom on four wheels. What we drive reflects our personalities, and our aspirations, and even allows us to let out our inner bogan.

    This is the story of the car that your folks bought home when you were a kid and you climbed all over the back seat. It’s the car that you crammed into on those hot summer road trips. It’s that model that you saved up for when you were a teenager or the car that your friend has that took you out of the suburbs. It's the car that you were brought home in from the hospital (potentially without being secured properly).

    This is the story of the people who drove them and the people that rode in them... this is the story of the Cars That Made Australia.

  • French Cars and the Citroën DS: Tres Bien

    French Cars and the Citroën DS: Tres Bien
    2024/10/21

    Oh la la... what can we say about French cars? They were baguettes on wheels, a rolling slice of European flair that somehow found their way into Australia’s heart.

    Whether it was the chic Citroën DS or the oddball Renault 4CV, these cars had something special — sophistication with a side of quirk. Sure, they were unpredictable and a bit unreliable, but that’s what made them memorable.

    In this episode, we explore how these eccentric Frenchies not only survived Aussie roads but also found their tribe of equally strange and cool drivers — academics, architects, maths teachers, comedians, rock stars, and anyone who doesn’t just watch movies, but films.

  • Mini Moke: You've Got to be Moking

    Mini Moke: You've Got to be Moking
    2024/10/11

    The Mini Moke wasn't just a car, it was an oddball on wheels, automotive fun in its simplest form.

    Originally designed as an army runabout, it never quite made the cut... but somehow found its place in beach towns, resorts, a few Bond films, and even Bass Strait.

    With no doors, no roof, and barely even an engine, somehow it defied the odds and became a cult classic, perfect for sun-soaked adventures in places like Magnetic Island and the Gold Coast.

    The Moke was a ride of cheap thrills, a sense of adventure, and a cheeky personality in a comically small package.

    In this episode, discover how a car that wasn’t very good at anything somehow became kind of perfect for everything — if you didn’t mind a bit of sunburn along the way.

  • Subaru Brumby: The Little BRAT

    Subaru Brumby: The Little BRAT
    2024/10/03

    It’s funny what becomes a cult classic.

    The Subaru Brumby wasn’t built to turn heads, but it became an icon anyway. In a market dominated by Fords and Holdens, this little workhorse quietly carved out its own niche by doing what it did best — working hard and going pretty much anywhere. Some might even say it’s the greatest ute ever made.
    Compact, all-wheel drive, and tough as old saddles, the Brumby wasn’t just a farm favourite — it became a rural legend, bashing through paddocks and earning its stripes kilometre after kilometre.

    In this episode, hear how the Brumby surprised us all to earn its cult status, and in an era of oversized pickup trucks, why people keep begging for Subaru to end the Brumby’s spell and bring it back into the stable.

あらすじ・解説

Australians have a long-standing love affair with the automobile and when, in 1948, the first Holden came off the production line, our cars also became part of our national pride.

Our cars do more than take us from A to B, they are freedom on four wheels. What we drive reflects our personalities, and our aspirations, and even allows us to let out our inner bogan.

This is the story of the car that your folks bought home when you were a kid and you climbed all over the back seat. It’s the car that you crammed into on those hot summer road trips. It’s that model that you saved up for when you were a teenager or the car that your friend has that took you out of the suburbs. It's the car that you were brought home in from the hospital (potentially without being secured properly).

This is the story of the people who drove them and the people that rode in them... this is the story of the Cars That Made Australia.
