Seems to have a sad face.
For one point, please respond and identify this bus.
up
Indian?
No
Scandinavian?
Bill
Yes ;)
For the moment, I would say it is Norwegian due to the LHD and most likely a Volvo. I do not know the coachbuilder or the year.
Let me know what you need.
Bill
It is neither Norwegian nor Volvo-based.
Ah Well, the easy route did not w0rk.
Perhaps a Scania-Vabis Bulldog of about 1936 in Denmark?
Bill
Not a Scania-Vabis, but from Denmark.
I'm in a playful mood today. Two days in a row of marvelous Spring weather.
Of the three Scandinavian countries, Denmark was the one that was not in love with American trucks and busses nor even Swedish ones. They used a ton of British vehicles, some German and, one at least, of their own. Makes it a bit more difficult to answer the puzzle.
However, even though I did not find your photo, I did find some others and wonder if the bus in question might be a Danish Triangel?
Bill
Yes, it is a Triangel from Denmark. To obtain the point, you must tell me its model name and the year.
One small hint: the model name is not a technical one.
Locked for you.
All alone here. Not, not easy the last part.
The only "name" I have come up with so far is "Mignon" used on an earlier year bus.
Bill
Not Mignon.
Well, it was worth a shot.
Thank You for staying up so late and answering my input.
For the moment, I have exhausted my immediate reference possibilities so please unlock in case someone else has a possible solution.
Bill
As you wish:
Unlocked and open for all Rookies and Experts.
Well, spent some time this morning polishing my Danish language skills.
How about "Golden Bus", or "Gold bus" with a year of about 1936.
Bill
No to both
More time spent in Denmark.
This is perhaps not what you are looking for, but it seems they had the generic name "Trambus".
Any closer?
Bill
Sorry, no.
More Danish lessons. Another source, another name.
I have found a reference that says the "Bulldog" or COE Triangel trucks and busses were also called "Special".
Any closer?
Bill
No, but it is an animal name, not Bulldog though.
More Danish lessons. I am getting pretty good at this.
Populaert kaldet "Elephant" typen.................
Any closer yet?
Bill
Yes, it is a Triangel Elefant. Give me an approximate year, and the point is yours.
Sorry for not spelling Elefant properly, sometimes I forget. Found that sentence buried in a veeeery long paragraph on a Danish historical site.
As to the year, of the dozens of photos I found on the net, maybe 3 or 4 had the year model in the description and I never did see your puzzle vehicle. As far as I can tell, that style was manufactured from 1935 to 1938 and we have already eliminated 1936. It looks a bit more modern than 1935 so I can only guess at 1937 at this point.
Bill
Well, the time range you have given is close enough. It is from 1934.
One more point for you.
Thank You, Kind Sir.
Bill
How very strange - it does actually have an elephantine look about it!
