Hi
I was sorting through some of my VW stuff today and came across these. I wondered if anybody knew who the HS/SH manufacturer was. I have done a quick Google search to no avail. I know that they are more a euro bus/bug thing but I generally only post on the split bus forum so thought I would start here.
Any information greatly received. Thanks
Simon

Hi Bill
Thanks, I knew I had seen the logo before, but was wondering if anybody knew more about the company themselves. I was also trying to roughly date the covers I have. The SHO semaphores advertised on here in the classifieds carry the VW logo not the SHO one (although I guess it may be on the baseplate or back) and seem to be predominantly for really early vehicles. i guess they must have carried on making parts long after model changes etc.
the packaging looks more 60's to me than 50's.
Thanks again |

I have seen a bus with what I think are something like these on the B-Pillar. I would like to see other buses with them installed. The bus I saw them on I think were modified as the bus didn't have semaphores originally and his lights were static.
Anyone know this guy? He's in Washington I have talked to him a couple of times but can't remember his name and this is the only pic I can find of his bus and of course the tent is in the way.

I did have a 59 beetle once that had been "upgraded" to those. Actually looked pretty good on a black L41 car

I was fortunate enough to talk to the owner of the bus pictured and he was kind enough to give me some tips on where to find some. I hope to put a set on my bus someday.
