Hola Raul:

Creo que/I believe that in that era they were called "Colectivos" in Argentina.
I also research American vehicles sold to, manufactured or assembled in countries outside the US.

Photo below.

Nice pic, Bill
Here's another rather unusual looking Argentine Chevy mini-bus, a 1935 by coachbuilder Geronimo Gnecco:

Hello Bill :D; are you learning spanish?....
Creo que/I believe that in that era they were called "Colectivos" in Argentina.
Aún hoy les decimos así, a los más grandes/Even today we call them so, to the larger ones (colloquially "bondi" also). Good pictures pals. Cheers. Raúl M 8-).

Hi Raúl, hi Max,

to the pic with the destroyed Polish bus: I think, it is not a Polski Fiat type 618, but the type 621 R: the smaller type 618 has six nuts on the wheel, the type 621 R has eight.

Regards

Bert

Thanks, Bert. You are right about that.I didn't count the wheel nuts but I thought the wheelbase and body looked too short for a 621R bus:
