Brian, I agree with Hanno....really interesting to see this HUP was in a newspaper article in it's country of Birth!

"CHEVROLET CHU 441 Diesel".
Hanno......that type "CHU 441" almost looks like the former Belgian licence plate (?).


HUPs were very popular as buses here in Holland after the war, along with Austin K2's with AFS body and also Bedford MW's and Fordson WOT's, although those last two received a whole new rear body. My father is very interested in classic trains, buses and trams and I remember seeing pictures of the original HUP Ypenburg in one of his books. I will see if I can find the pic.

Alex
