I love the fade on this one - reminds me of my '59 SC the day we picked it up years ago, albeit yours is in way better condition as found than mine was. I assume yours was originally L345 Light Grey too, right?

Since it's in vogue to give titles to buses, we could refer to this one as the "Abortion bus." |
"keep your rosaries off my ovaries" Belt line talk for real.... Abortion bus it is.... LOL

We have been looking and most of these buses are missing their plates and we also cant find the chassis numbers stamped over the right side near the bell housing. This plate doesnt have the 19 embosed for the year.

If I read this plate right and using the link from everett, would this panel van be an April 1963?

My painter buddy Justin has a custom car shop and they were on the property near his shop, none of us ever seen any cars back there since it was all over grown and covered like a canopy of trees and bushes. So the old timer just sold the land so he came over asking Justin if he was interested in buying these old cars that were down in there.
The tags are from 1974. Everything just grew around them. They drug it out with that huge old roll off truck.
