shame they havnt got back to you :roll:

i take it you live too far away to go down there?how cool would it be if you could go re-create the photo again once the logos were back in! :D

I have another original paint logoed Bus, a 1957 Kombi with "The Model" Cleaners logos on it. That is the place I contacted to get pics and didn't hear back from. They are still in business in Neillsville, Wisconsin. The "Lido Cleaners" went out of business a few years back and was sold by the original owner many many years ago so that search for pics dead ended there a few years back.

Cool, I was wondering if anyone was going to catch that. I'm like Johnny in that I like to use my English slang expressions every once in a while, especially when nobody expects it.

Contact Chadly, he is local to the area, and I'm sure would take a trip to Neillsville. http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=11203

I remember hearing the '57 was used in local parades too.

Finding the post card and book with your 53 on it is cool!. What are the odds of that happening.

I have several post cards from Colome Motors back in the early sixties, But i'm sure Drew has many of those as well.

Good to hear your finally getting your Standard.

Thanks Eric, I'll check into that when I get a chance. That would be super cool to have some pics and history on it, too.

Thanks Edward, nice to hear from you. It looks like we'll be picking it up right away. I'm excited. I can't believe the coincidence of all these things coming together like this, pretty incredible.

Take it easy.
