Traveluxe
Bowen Bridge Rd,
Brisbane.

These two advertisements found via Trove with the same illustrations show a lowering roof style of van which when open appears to have some kind of awning incorporated over the collapsible section. The text indicates it uses 'compressed panels. No Ply or Fabric' so I wonder just what it was all made of (Masonite?) and how it worked. From the wording it might be assumed there was a rigid roof model too?
