If you could have one of these barndoors witch one would you pick(i just took some random pictures)? :wink: and most importantly WHY? i would have picked the 52 samaba chassi:20-027662 because my dad was close to buy it in the 90's

If that's a real 15 window barndoor I would take it because of the rariosity

It looks like an early ambulance Jake. Check out the rear hatch and engine lid. They had the same engine lid as a barndoor truck, and the top hatch opened out from the top with a hinge on the bottom. Perhaps a special order with the extra windows, or maybe done by a coachbuilder. There are some other ambulance features such as the roof-mounted fresh air vent and the frosted side window glass.
