Cool bus, that’s the one that came out of Washington state a few years back and Ryan in Utah put a sunroof clip in.
Killer bus!! But I dunno how many original 55-56 sunroof standards there are..? |

I have some, maybe not on Samba though. I should add them one day. I first put eyes on that Bus in 1993. I remember when he hit the deer in '94ish

I don't remember there being any roof rust. I think it was just that the original owner forgot to check the sunroof box on the order form, so an owner decided to fix that.

Could be. i can see a bit in this pic.
Judging by the pics posted here the paint looks different now than it did even in 2017. More paint loss and chips now but its hard to see in the pics.
Whatever, i love it!

For sale in Andorra, between Spain and France; an early 1955 Palm Green - Sand Green Standard. Has a front bench, wheels, both bumpers and an engine.
Anyone going to save her...?

this detail changed in November of '52. That piece is likely just installed from an earlier engine...doesn't look like a 25hp engine to me

| I think it's not very likely that a 25 Hp engine was fitted to replace the original 30 Hp. |
