Ipswich has a long and proud history of car manufacture dating back to 1878 when Edward Russel, an Englishman living in Australia, founded the Ipswich Carriage Factory. The company produced horse-drawn carriages for the local market. In 1896 the factory was taken over by the Brisbane Wagon and Carriage Works and began to produce motorised vehicles. In 1903 the first car, a four-wheeled buggy, was built in Ipswich. The Ipswich area was also home to several other early car makers including the Ipswich Motor Company (1904-1905), the Australian Motor Manufacturing Company (1906-1908) and the Ipswich Cycle and Motor Company (1907-1910). The first mass-produced car in Australia was the Holden 48-215, which was manufactured at the GMH plant in Woodville, South Australia from 1948. However, production of the 48-215 soon moved to the Fishermen's Bend plant in Melbourne, Victoria. In 1963, construction of a new car assembly plant began in Clovelly Park, South Australia. The new plant was opened in 1964 by then Prime Minister Robert Menzies and was operated by the Chrysler Corporation. The plant produced a range of Chrysler, Valiant and Hillman models until 1976 when it was closed due to the poor sales of Chrysler vehicles in Australia. In 1978, the Mitsubishi Motors Australia plant was opened in Tonsley Park, South Australia. The plant was originally built to assemble the Mitsubishi Sigma but soon began producing the Mitsubishi Galant. The plant continued to operate until 2008 when it was closed due to the global financial crisis. In 1980, the Toyota Motor Corporation opened a car assembly plant in Altona, Victoria. The plant was originally built to assemble the Toyota Corolla but soon began producing the Toyota Camry. The plant continues to operate today and is one of Australia's largest car assembly plants.
