And on the SC they drew all the way up on the B pillar but they stopped there on the Binz B pillar right at the "logo". Seems like an odd spot for the logo as well since just a smidge over and you have a huge door canvas. It also looks like neither of those trucks have rain gutters so deff some funkery goin on there.

Yah theres a few more Binz pics you haven't seen Cdennisg. I need to scan em in.

Possible Logos...

if you look at the big green circle you can see what kommercial is talking about with the pencil lines. and the retouching of the photo. the fender line was drawn all the way down to the line of the jack system underneath the binz

there looks to be a "logo" centered in the middle of the drivers door

Would a Europe delivered '59 Binz have come with semaphores or bullets?

Would any have come with semaphores?

Is that the only known RHD binz? I can't recall seeing any other euro spec ones. Pre-May '58 too, if the decklid is original to the bus.

that truck is a swedish left drive/left door right?

Also that truck looks to not be a Binz. Side window is too small & the inner of the 3rd door is all wrong. Probably some other coach company.

The original paint one belongs to Waddis who goes by "kommercial" on this site. The other one belongs to Joe from Arizona.

It is a swedish coachbuilt by "Forsell&Lindkvist" from Uppsala.

From a thread in the barndoor forum.

The Zinc, yes, I kept finding excessively worn cam and lifters on very low mileage teardowns, I have switched to Valvolines Racing(with ZDDP) oil20w50
and hope for the best, ya know, the engines run quieter with this oil in them, must be a good sign

I walked right by that, knew what it was, but never thought to stop and look at the pop out latch mounts.

Any shots of those?

Ev?
Johnny?

That Binz is cool but somehow it just does do it for me with all the bling.
Considering it's commercial heritage that is.
