Was that the jump in Missoula?
What was the dealership name that his grandpa owned? I had not heard that before.

Cleveland, Ohio.
Enlarge by clicking at upper right of the image (when you're in the link)... there's really good scroll zoom-ability.
There's a guy on the passenger side at the forward cargo door... kinda looks like he sees the camera (but I doubt it).
Maybe an August '58 bus, since it has a white pressed bumper.

Thanks for the correct information. The photo was sent to me with only the info I posted. I took a guess and was wrong.

Rare photo of Ferdinand Porsche's first small streamlined bus design built during his tenure with
Austro-Daimler. These design cues would be carried over to his preliminary designs for the
Volkswagen bus. Note kanted headlights, and safari windows, which were a direct carry-over!

H. Porsche certainly had many varied ideas on vehicle transport.
