No pic of it in the 50's gallery on .dk so I assumed... I will have to ask about it,as even on list they don't have the full chassis #

Tony told me he doesn't think the one before still exists. Not the one after. So you are right...but i just state off the website..because on one knows. But i think your bus is really the 3rd oldest window bus in the world.... Which is fucking amazing! 8)

Thu Jun 30, 2011 6:54 am

Cool... so I did have it somewhat right :wink:

I didn't look at it that way 3rd oldest, only looking at it as the 2nd standard
