So politically incorrect. Great photo.
Is it normal for the door cabinet to be wood veneer in an otherwise white melamine interior flipseat? _________________ Founder and Chairman Emeritus, ECMSAS

I think that is an SO-35. you can kind of see some color on the cabinets like they are the pearwood. The panel under the bed is painted on all of them.
Looks like a mid or late '62 with the later style rack. _________________ .

Definitely SO-35, you can see the closet is Swiss Pearwood veneer as well.
The panel below the bed on the SO-35 is a light colored wood grained formica-type product, not painted:
SO-34 has dark grey colored kickboard panels, not sure if it's painted or a formica like product??
Lind's bad ass new SO-34 (with og orange plaid upholstery) from the gallery:
Lind's bus also has the cool black metal cap on top of the kickboards to protect it from wear. My late model (65') just has the plastic trim.
Another difference is the way the water jug cabinet opens. Weird that mine is the same as the one in the old photo, but, like the later rack, who knows? _________________ Brandon |

WOW! That’s pretty cool! Looking at these old pictures, I would often wonder if they survived or met the crusher. _________________ Type 1
