Does anyone know the address of the AMI factory? I would assume it was in Bertie Street. I spend a fair bit of time in Port Melbourne and it would be interesting to see what is there now.

It's basically where the Toyota factory is now, although there is nothing that remains of the old plant.

Been a while since this thread had a boost, Jason (70 hornet) tracked down this picture of the former Albury Rambler dealership from around 1967. Looks like they had the whole AMI lineup covered. The dealership was located in Kiewa and the building itslef only got bowled over a couple of years ago to make way for a new library.

Yeah the building was in Kiewa street Albury NSW. I am not sure how long it was the Rambler dealer. That is Exide battery dealer next door (you can just see the sign) and an Ampol was a couple of doors from this. Now all gone for new library. The building was very old and I have seen some early pictures with horse and carriages out the front. It was still being used (but I can't remember what for) right up until it was demolished a couple of years ago for the new Albury library/museum. I wonder what the cars are in the window that you can't see very well. It wasn't that wide but it went back a fair way the old building.
