Interesting to see the yellow/blue bus in this one, as I don’t believe it was a typical factory offering? Custom order?
Caught my eye, as it’s similar to my ‘60 that was a custom order, according to the daughter of the original owner.

It looks like a black-and-white photo that's been colorized. _________________ We are striving for perfection, to make our cars run forever, if possible.

It looks like a tinted black & white photograph to me, so the color is likely not accurate. _________________ 1959 Single Cab “Otto”

From the dirt and water stains on the two buses, it looks like they've been sitting there for quite a while. _________________ Founder and Chairman Emeritus, ECMSAS

Man I'd be pissed off to find rope burn marks an/or scratches on my new delivered "primer" (or painted) Splitty from transporting on/off a ship! I'd demand an immediate dealership upgrade to a Camper!
