About Us

Charlie Schwerkolt opened Charlie's Auto Museum in 1988 with a handful of cars and signs, and since then has expanded and added numerous exhibits.

The collection is not only rare, but very diverse, interesting and exciting … It is continually changing and growing.

Having started his career as a bottle merchant and scrap metal dealer with his father in Prahran, Charlie then turned to forklift hire as his main business. When his son took over the business reins – Charlie needed a project.
