 |
|
Theese old barndoor deluxe pictures were found in Sweden.
Is it Paul Winsk bus? His bus is from Sweden.
Some details are, the roof light, the S sign on the engine lid, roof rack bows.
I don´t know, but mayby?? Rooflights aren´t that common. What do you think??

My first guess would be no due to the license plate location and lack of logos.
The spotlight seems like a unique thing though. |
I was thinking of the license plate too, but in Sweden you got a new license plate every time the bus was sold to an other province, so it could be moved then.
And I´ll also guess a new owner would remove the logos, since the logos are some advertise for a travel agency |

| In the old photos there seems to be a radio antenna on the far drivers side of the front skin. I don't see any holes for such an antenna on the skin of the "new" bus. |

looks like wisks bus had the antenna on the drivers side (right)
it looks to be the original bumper too, so check that for indicator holes.
it also DOES have the rear reverse light thing passenger side (left)
could the extra 'ware' on the front roof peak be due to thinner paint from where in the past the writting was removed?
how many RHD 54's were there in sweden, i know they have perfect detailed records. Whats the chance this is the same bus. would be mighty cool if it was. |

| Here is a "duh" thought...but the spot light doesn't look the same. It probably was replaced anyway. Do people enjoy old barndoor pics? My wife's uncle used to go fishing in the late 50's in a '54 in Idaho. I can try to get the pics. |

There is an easy way to find out if it is the same bus. I will try to dig out some information regarding that bus in the pictures...

I now have the VIN-number of the old Swedish deluxe in the pictures... Does any one know the VIN of the Wisks bus?

Ok... Then we know for sure. It is not the same bus. The one in the picture has a VIN above 100000. Thats good. Then it still might be there to be found some where in the Swedish woods.

No this one is 20-108XXX. It is not in barndoor.dk:s list either which is good if it still is around. I will try to find the latest owner
