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.

Very Happy

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.

I think 63-65, '62 didn't have the emergency light.

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.
