The Alps…cool
Original Alpine buses…very cool
Alpine climbs with 30hp and 1 driver/8 tourists…must have been painfully slow!
The original job of the 23-window?

Was hoping this could be a thread to do with all things Alpine & Split Bus:
>Period pictures
>Sign-written buses
>Travel stickers
>Travel Pendants
>Related stories

I’m thinking mainly Swiss and Austrian buses… as the Alps dominate these two countries
>Austria, 65.5% of its territory
>Switzerland, 65% of its territory
…but I guess there might also be a few from Italy or France (I get the impression France didn’t import many early VWs)

I particularly like the sign-written buses that are named…and with the flamboyant murals
Are there any that survive in original paint?

Please post up anything you find, or know of

in case some might not be able to read the Kurrent letters on the car it says Alpen-Express.
This bus was local to my Friend Valentin's place in Steiermark/Österreich.
He has the original copies of those pics.
