Hi All
I have been fortunate enough to borrow some photos from a family member of the now defunct Globe Caravan Co. here in Adelaide, there are quite a few of them so it will take a couple of sessions to display all of them. I own a Gold Coaster built by Globe in 1964 but am no expert on them, so welcome comments as we go, the period seems to span mid 50s to late 60s :
here we have their sale yard at what I assume is 988 Port Rd. Alberton, the lower photo is titled - 1960 Motor Show Sydney Miranda Caravan sales - billboard at front says " Ultra Lightweight ( under 8cwt) to suit Volkswagen etc. 483 Pounds 15 shillings or terms 123 pounds & 65 shillings weekly " those were the days !!
a very short wheelbase Gold Coaster at top, dont know what the lower one is, any comments ?
Notice they both have external switches / sockets at front which appears to be a Globe trademark at one period, will post more during the week
