As a company with nearly half a century of history in Victoria, we thought this video taken from a street car through the streets of our city in 1907 was too cool not to share. It’s a little before our time of course… which is probably for the best since there weren’t many cars on the road back then! The motor car was technically invented in 1886, but didn’t become widely used until the affordable Ford Model T came out in 1908. An interesting fact about Victoria in particular is that we drove on the left hand side of the road (British rules) here until 1922.
Can you spot any landmarks that are still here today? Either way, this video is sure to make you to think twice before you complain about that pothole on your street!
