Do the vents on the hood imply an air-cooled engine?

sichel · « **Reply #5 on:** September 23, 2024, 11:26:40 AM »

No, there is no air-cooled engine mounted.

Well, let's go through them, then. Opel Blitz?

Could it be Mercedes-Benz?

sichel · « **Reply #11 on:** September 24, 2024, 03:31:18 PM »

It can and it is a Mercedes-Benz.
Locked for five attempts to name type and coachbuilder.

O 3500? Is it a German coachbuilder?

sichel · « **Reply #13 on:** September 25, 2024, 02:57:41 PM »

O 3500? No.
German coachbuilder? Yes.

marmer · « **Reply #14 on:** September 26, 2024, 03:58:31 PM »

O 6600?

O 311?

sichel · « **Reply #19 on:** September 29, 2024, 11:53:55 AM »

No, one more attempt.

marmer · « **Reply #20 on:** October 01, 2024, 09:43:38 AM »

I'm getting close! Found what is probably the source of the picture, and the operator and the city, and a likely year. Still working on coachbuilder and model.

sichel · « **Reply #21 on:** October 01, 2024, 09:51:23 AM »

Go on

marmer · « **Reply #22 on:** October 01, 2024, 04:53:48 PM »

OK, well I'm going to have to guess.

O 2600, Kässbohrer, 1939?

sichel · « **Reply #23 on:** October 02, 2024, 01:16:11 PM »

O 2600: No, stronger.
Kässbohrer: No, this extraordinary hood comes from someone else.
1939: I only have the information: end of the 30s.
There is one more attempt for your trouble.

marmer · « **Reply #24 on:** October 02, 2024, 05:23:07 PM »

I found a nearly identical bus, supposedly on a Krupp chassis, attributed to "Bauer" from 1936. Presumably Peter Bauer?

Maybe O 3200? You have already ruled out the larger and smaller chassis.
