Die Casters

As part of the government's plans to have an Australian built car, Die Casters produced  prototypes of a "People's Car" in Melbourne, Victoria in 1944, but production didn't eventuate.

Also part of the Ivan Hoffmann Collection, but not appearing here are copies of documents and photos from National Archives of Australia (MT105/12, 44/108/10A; A461/1, M418/1/6); articles.
