Oakenfulls Garage, 151 Stud Road, Dandenong, late 1960s

Pictured after having the new front put on the old garage which started out as a plumbers shop. In their time at this site they were a Ford affiliated garage. They later moved to a site in Plunkett Road, Dandenong. More recently all reference has been removed from the Plunket street site, as National Towing slowly rebrands it to their signage.

Dandenong has had a proud history with the motor industry. From early repair shops, through to having played home to a G.H.H. plant for decades, as a result a lot of cars in the 60s and 70s had become locally made Holdens. Oakenfulls defied the trend for a long time servicing those who had Fords.
