Title: Solved: Wendax 846 - Büssing-NAG bus by Ottenbacher
Post by: Wendax on March 23, 2013, 02:51:50 AM
Somehow the hood and the body don't go together in harmony.

For one point, please respond and identify this bus by naming the chassis and the coachbuilder.

German? If yes, Bussing?

Post by: Wendax on March 30, 2013, 07:12:17 AM
Yes, German bus on a Büssing (or Büssing-NAG) chassis. That was the easy part.

I don't know of any cars bodied by them.
Their main business was buses for sure, but they also were into truck coachbuilding.

Post by: targhediferro on April 04, 2013, 06:36:59 AM
I found this firm on a quite affordable site, Kowex Fahrzeugbau, Heilbronn...as it is not the right one, I guess Wankmiller from Heilbronn too...as  I suppose Drauz did also cars.
Title: Re: Wendax 846
Post by: Wendax on April 04, 2013, 06:45:17 AM
Not Drauz.

The coachbuilder we are looking for is not from Heilbronn.
Title: Re: Wendax 846
Post by: Wendax on April 04, 2013, 07:06:22 AM
Sorry, I mixed something up. The coachbuilder in question is in a town almost 200 km south of Heilbronn.
The reason I got this wrong is that there is a village of the same name which is part of the city of Heilbronn, so Google Maps told me that it is just 10 km away.
