One of my favorite sponsors is Global Van Lines. I have strong memories of the Global Van Lines truck on Main Street and love the toy truck that Global gave away. The graphics on this brochure are a high example of mid-1960s illustration art. I do wonder if moving during this era was as carefree as this brochure makes it out to be?
Beautiful! Is that why they were next to Disneyland long, long ago?? I seem to remember a giant globe as we got off the freeway on Harbor Blvd.
ReplyDeleteSo great; I love seeing all these rare Disneyland paper items!
ReplyDeleteI used to REALLY admire the Global Van Lines building from the freeway as we drove by on the way to Disneyland. I thought it was so elegant and complemented the 1967 Tomorrowland perfectly.
ReplyDeleteAll the more reason I dislike the melted-butter TDA building, now on its old site. A crappy deconstructionist style, strictly done on the cheap.
Katella took the words right out of my mouth! I always thought this building and the globe sculpture/fountain out front looked like it belonged to DL...specifically the 1967 Tomorrowland!
ReplyDeleteI miss the old Global Van Lines building on Main St. The newer facades that replaced it never seemed to blend well with the original Main St. buildings. Maybe it's just me.
Sweet (rare) item - WOW!!!
ReplyDeleteAgreed on the TDA warehouse, even worse when you think about what goes on (or doesn't go on) inside of it!
When I saw that building I knew we had arrived! It did feel like part of the park and was very impressive.
