I usually don't post buses, but I think this will be a challenge for you. So who built this? What was its name?

I am nowhere near a complete answer, but......

The headlamp style, the styling of the grille/radiator mask bars and what little we can see of the makers badge on the front could suggest a mid 1950's Scania.

As to the mission of the bus, it looks to me like either a "safari" type bus or maybe a military one except for all the chromium on it.

There's a connection to Czechoslovakia, but not from there.

Bill, unfortunately all of your assumptions are wrong. And it is not Swedish either

Could it be a Berna logo?

pnegyesi · January 17, 2013, 12:16:34 PM

maybe it was copied

It is not a Berna

pguillem · January 17, 2013, 04:23:01 PM
