Have a look inside!

For one point, please respond and identify truck, coachbuilder and whom it was built for.

Mercedes L 5500, by Schenk for Horex motorbikes in 1953.
Ein Henschel zieht am Berg und ein Mercedes
an den Türen. (and an attempt of a translation):
A Henschel in rushing up the hill, wheras in a Mercedes wind is rushing through the doors. c/o norberthanke

Two out of three ain't bad! It is a Mercedes-Benz bodied by Schenk for Horex, but it was not built on a L 5500 chassis. Locked for you.

Than it is a L 5000 from 1952 or earlier with a substructure from 1953. L 6600 had a bonnet with shorter maintance flaps.

Is it an O 6600? It doesn't look as low.

Looking at the distance between the louvers on the hood and the top of the fenders I'm quite sure it is an O 6600 chassis.
One more point for you.
