You only gave the bottom 2 rows. What happened to the top 2 rows?
From what you did give. I can tell you that you have a 71 bus, 7 seater, built the 40th week of 1970 on a Monday. Sometime in early Sept, 1970.

It has a 1600 type 1 engine. Vent windows in the sides. Black vinyl interior. The paint is strange: 0506 is Niagra Blue lower, Black upper. It entered the USA as a USA vehicle thru the port of Wisconsin [they have one??]
