Re: Bus/Omnibuss Photos
You make a good case, Bert.
The wheels are more similar.
Here is a pic of a 900N from Holger's site. The 802 pic I have is much longer and I don't have an 801 either.
Too bad it is taken from the door side so it is harder to compare the window configuration at the back.

Re: Bus/Omnibuss Photos
Hi Sturm 78,
thank You very much for posting this very interesting pic of this Mercedes-Benz bus. It must be a special version produced for the navy (WM - ). I think it is the type Lo 3750, because the navy got busses of this type.

Bert

Re: Bus/Omnibuss Photos
I agree with you, Bert. It must be a special bodied Lo or O 3750. Did the RM also have O 3750's as well?SIS 5 wrote:Hi Sturm 78,

Hi Max,
sorry I cannot give You an answer to Your question. But here a pic of a Mercedes-Benz bus type Lo 3750 produced for the navy (WM) in 1936 (source of the pic: "Mercedes-Benz Lastwagen und Omnibusse 1896 - 1986" by Werner Oswald.

Re: Bus/Omnibuss Photos
Hi Bert,
I find it very difficult to tell the Lo from the O models. Maybe this is why: If I read Holger correctly the Lo had the simple horizontal louvers but in 1937 they were used on the O series as well:
Thus I would say your 1936 bus above with the vertical louvers was probably an O 3750 and Sturm 78's original pic either an Lo as you initially suggested or a post 1936 O.

http://www.kfzderwehrmacht.de/Homepage_ ... _3750.htmlCommencing in 1936, engine bonnet side plates with each four horizontal louvres were used. In 1937, the Lo 3750 was renamed O 3750 without any noticeable changes in the construction.

Hi Max,
sorry for my late reply, but I was a few days in Austria. I absolutely agree with You. After all it´s really a problem exactly to ID these types of busses. Here another example of a Mercedes-Benz Lo 3750 out of the "Autotypenbuch:Typentafeln der Deutschen Kraftfahrzeugindustrie" from the year 1936.

Re: Bus/Omnibuss Photos
Yes indeed, Bert. And each one differs in the louver detail to some degree.

Re: Bus/Omnibuss Photos
A Krupp Dienstwagen. Based on the Simplex rims I would guess it to be an O/OD 4 N chassis. Westfalen license plate, possibly taken at their Essen works?

Hi jakszach, hi Max,
Your bus, jakszach, is the type Z 1 I think,
and Max, I agree with You that it is the type O 4 N or OD 4 N, maybe 262.

Re: Bus/Omnibuss Photos
Hello Sturm,
I would say quite definitely a typical Type 650N bus of the Reichspost.
