Gaudin (Australia) - AllCarIndex

Gaudin Motor Exchange was established in 1909 in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. The company primarily operated as a retail outlet for automobiles rather than manufacturing vehicles. It specialized in selling a high-wheeled motor buggy known as the Gaudin, which was essentially a rebranded version of the Kiblinger and McIntyre models.

The Gaudin motor buggy was equipped with a 12-horsepower engine, making it a notable entry in the early automotive market. The relationship between Gaudin and its competing firms raised questions about the sourcing of vehicles, as it appeared that the same model could be marketed by different companies. This situation suggested that one of the firms may have acquired stock from Tudhope in Canada, highlighting the complexities of early automotive distribution and branding in Australia.
