Reddotel at work again

[stephen&Julie]

Hi VVer’s,
The Reddotel was working just dandy today, one of my work sites is out at a place called Ubobo it’s on the Calliope-Monto road central QLD, anyways I ended up with the worst neck from checking out everyone’s back yard as I passed thru small towns, gotta pass the time while driving some how, here’s what I found……


Coronet 14’ year anyone?











Viscount No: E2657 year anyone?

There are two of these I found their old council work caravans from Biloela

Old Viscount me thinks

That’s All Folks, been a good day

Cheers Stephen&Julie

You have a great job, just driving around the country side looking for old vans and and getting paid for it. The off side is that I am never short of work whilst you keep finding them. ha ha.

G'day S&J,

I'd say the Coronet van was from 1965-66. Those Hella tail lights were being used from 1965 onwards in the industry, and the broad painted stripe on the sides is typical of vans from the mid-60s era.

The Ambassador E2657 has the 1968 side stripe pattern on it, however I suspect the van has been repainted in white at some stage, and the stripe colours redone. I would expect any van with that design on the sides to have plain aluminium cladding, if it's in "original condition".

cheers,
Al.
