The 15-passenger White Charabanc Excursion Vehicle had a body made in Sydney by Smith & Waddington Ltd in about 1922. The American firm, The White Motor Co. of Cleveland, Ohio, were car and later truck manufacturers between 1900 and 1980. Onto their chassis the Sydney body builders, Smith & Waddington Ltd, made this luxury touring charabanc body. The White charabanc was owned and operated by N.L. Day of Coogee to take tourists on day trips to the Royal National Park and Jenolan Caves during the 1920s (MAAS).
