Caravan

Caravan, released by Williams in 1962, emerged during a vibrant period in pinball history when vacation and travel themes were particularly popular in American entertainment. This electro-mechanical pinball machine captured the growing wanderlust of post-war America, when highway travel and camping were becoming mainstream leisure activities.

The machine's playfield design featured artwork and elements celebrating the emerging caravan and camping culture of the early 1960s. It incorporated standard features of the era including pop bumpers, kick-out holes, and rolling targets. The scoring system was typical of early 1960s Williams games, with mechanical reel score displays and relay-based logic for gameplay operations.

While not one of Williams' most famous titles from this period, Caravan represented the company's consistent ability to create commercially successful games that reflected contemporary American culture. The machine's theme resonated with operators who placed it in locations frequented by a public increasingly interested in outdoor recreation and travel adventures. Like many machines of its era, it helped establish Williams as a major force in the coin-operated amusement industry.
