Even more interesting if you read the fineprint in the first article where it states that jennison built their first aluminium pathfinder in 1949.....that it shows no wear after 4 1/2 years!!!! jennison

A 1959 article on the massive 30' Jennison Pathfinder.

Colour photo of the 1959 30' Jennison which also shows the van is fitted with a Jones' Dolly Wheel.

I reckon the old girl towing that 30 footer would need another engine in the boot to pull it and someone ready in the back of the van to throw out an anchor to stop it!! The old grey motor would be gasping.

Hi Jennison,

At first I thought like you that the vehicle towing the 30 footer was a Holden, but when I maximised the drawing by double clicking on it I came to the conclusion that the car is a Ford Customline which would have been a V8. All the same I imagine you'd notice the van on the back!! What a ripper! Wonder what your grandfather would have thought of it?

Well there you go DonR. A customline seems more appropriate (and less nervewracking!) with a biggy like that. It must be a late 50's p/finder as it still has that "old"shape or line to it I reckon. Bloody huge!!!
And will you check out that roof hatch. There must be a palfinger truck crane on the drawer bar that we can't see, just for lifting the roofhatch.
But then again with a VV that big you could get the football team thats staying in it to lift the hatch up for you!!
