Spotted in Tuscany a yellow Mercedes Benz omnibus. Though Volkswagen’s Transporter would be the one to take the world by storm, it wasn’t the only German automaker to produce such buses, vans, and small trucks in the 1950s. While the VW Type 2 Transporter arrived in 1949, Mercedes-Benz entered the fray in 1955 with the premiere of the L 319 trucks and vans, as well as the O 319 omnibus. The 319 line was Mercedes’ first such offering since World War II, during which time the company was tasked with manufacturing the Blitz truck of its chief competitor, Opel. Amidst Germany’s post-war “economic miracle,” or Wirtschaftswunder, the L 319 was highly successful in its various configurations, including cargo van, truck, and flatbed pickup bodies. The O 319 omnibus sold in fewer numbers than the L 319. Available with either two or three doors and with the option of panoramic windows, the bus was most popular in 17- and 18-passenger form to maximize transporting capability for business needing a reliable shuttle. (They were widely used among motels and airlines.) In 10-passenger specification, however, the O 319 was more like a sumptuous coach bus. Passengers had much more room, plus there was more space for luggage, and this top-spec O 319 offered lovely views and plenty of light courtesy of glazed roof and a foldable sunroof.
Dating from the 1950s an O 319 Mercedes Benz omnibus with panoramic windows. Maybe a postal bus from the livery. Very cute. Spotted in Tuscany, Italy.
Better than a VW camper?
