Carapark Caravans.

[griffin]

A 'Mobile Home' advert found on Trove from The Sun 25 September, 1938. This one might be the same one in the photo on the first page of this thread, big windows! Dare say the 6ft version may have had smaller windows Details are hard to read, hopefully a clearer copy will turn up, but some features; all-steel body panels, two-color washable duco, dustproof floors, gay coverings and automatic braking system.

1953 Carapark ad.

This seems to be an advertisement from an agent from The Open Road 1-2-1951. It shows the early style 'Superb' with the rounded corners and the little box on the draw bar. Anyone know what the box is for??

And the 'Litewate' (great name) gets a mention, does anyone know what it looks like??
