Accession[1965.0017] Papers of Joseph Bishop and familyIdentifierUMA-ITE-1965001700168Extentnot specifiedScope and ContentJoseph Bishop arrived in Melbourne during the goldrushes, ultimately establishing a coach building business at Beechworth, which was later transferred to Euroa. The family moved to Melbourne in the late 1880s, where one son became the proprietor of the trade journal 'The Australasian Coachbuilder and Saddler'. The collection consists of family photographs and photographs used to illustrate 'The Australasian Coachbuilder and Saddler'. This photograph shows a view of the Ford Car and Truck Sales Division, with four double decker buses parked outside. Also appears to be premises of A.E.C. (Australia). Note of interest is the V8 logo on the Ford building. The buses appear to belong to the M.T.T.
