I'd need donor (chassis, engine) and coachbuilder for a point

German, Ford-based

German, not Ford based (donor and engine are different - not Ford engined though)

East German, Robur based as the wheels indicate

It is an Etzel bus. Is it Ford-based?

Yes, the coachbuilder was Etzel&Sohn from Aschaffenburg. Not Ford-based. Locked for 3 more tries

I couldn't find anything about them, except for their agricultural machines

Etzel showed a Dodge-engined bus at the 1950 Frankfurt spring fair. This puzzle bus looks a bit younger, but is it still powered by a Dodge gasoline engine?

Now you found the engine. All I need know is the chassis

Still locked

The 1950 bus had a chassis built by Etzel themselves. So this one seems to have a different one. Was it an American chassis?

well, this is from 1950,had a Dodge engine... The chassis was American indedd

Another Chrysler brand like Fargo?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #17 on:** November 20, 2018, 04:34:28 AM »

not from the Chrysler empire

Wendax · « **Reply #18 on:** November 20, 2018, 05:31:01 AM »

Chevrolet?
