| From a car like this it would be perfect to have hundreds of pictures of the details made in the factory. |

That's it for the next several days, as the bus is in transit to the shows. |

Incredible bus Doug, wish I could make it to LA for the shows to inspect this bus.
I like that fact it has a hitch and accessories on it.
Would love to hear more of the back story and history as well when you get time.

Wow! I can't wait to check it out.
The sign in it says 1962 but it's a '63 correct?
I'm curious what they were towing back in the day.
Towing with a 40hp must have pretty slow.
Stuff I noticed right away:
Clear front turn signal lenses:
Emergency knob replaced with later red one?
Riveted walk-thru panels:
And of course the various accessories like trim rings and bumper guards. |

| i used to tow with a 40 horse, works just fine. The only real issue i see is that unlike germany where the tow speed limit is 50 miles an hour, which it does ALL day, here everybody wants to go 65+. 40 horse does not want to go 65 all day, even without a trailer. |

Sick bus. Way crazy it survived in Wisconsin in that good of shape.
Weird it's a 63 with clear signals. |

Bus can't be too late, it has outie vents.
My all OG 5/64 had a red knob and my pretty OG 7/63 Deluxe does not so I think that is a '64 thing.
My '63 has a regular solid white knob. |
