Postwar busses ex-military Holland
I thought some of you, especially the Dutch members, might enjoy these shots I got off of a bus historical site in Holland.
Apparently, I don't read much Dutch, a registration plate keeps on forever and does not go away with the first vehicle it is put on. These guys had a research project to find as many old "B" registrations that they could and some of them were to be found on multiple vehicles from the 1920s through the 1940s. Anyway, here are a few and I will try to pass on some more. Bill

A couple of real oddities.
Can anyone ID the larger bus? Bill

Bill, Based on a Mack perhaps? There are features that put that make to mind, I also think it is a driven front axle. regards, Richard

Hi Richard:
You may well be correct. Certainly, it dwarfs the 1935ish Ford next to it so it is based on a quite large vehicle chassis. I also agree that it looks to have driven front wheels. I am a bit concerned though that the Mack vehicles were really bad on fuel consumption which would be a tough sell for a passenger vehicle for hire. I had thought maybe that it might be GMC or Chevrolet based but I am not sure. I do know the poster of the photo had no idea either. In any case, some rather interesting trivia vehicle photos I think. Edit: I think the answer may be in the type of front wheel and I am just now going to eat dinner so cannot look further. That is the major distinguishing characteristic that I can see. Bill

It was the front wheel hub and wings that made me think Mack.
