I was wondering if the bus was used as a camera car in the making of the film? "Third from the right (1950). I also noticed that it does not have vents up top? Apparently the picture was taken in 1951, the film was released december of 1950? _________________ regards

maybe it is even a rear hatch?! ther seems to be some kind of latch handle or knob in the middle.
The logos on the advertisements seem familiar to me but I'm not sure.
I believe it some kind of far east or African import for dried dates or possibly figs or fig coffee. _________________ Hotrods, Fords, Veedubs and Triumph Twins !

Amsterdam 1962.
The Barndoor is an import vehicle, probably an ex damaged one.
The license plate starts with double D.
The double D's have a nickname here in The Netherlands namely, "Duitse Deuk" translated "German Dent". |

cool pic!
Somehow this area looks so 'Austrian'. I don't know the place, but the candy store reads 'Heller Drops' in the glass cabinet store front. Heller is a famous candy producer in Vienna. One member of their family is also a famous artist and songwriter (Andrè Heller).
These wooden/glass cabinet store fronts are typical of Austrian cities like Vienna. too bad we cannot see more of the lettering or company name on the bus front.

Everett, here are a few of those Heller 'candies' (still available in 2020, not NOS ).
Hey all you Barndoor guys around the globe, feel free to pick a 'Wiener Zuckerl', everybody, just like in the 1950s !
