2491tj ◊ 2007-10-07 14:25	fake ww2 Opel Blitz bus...made from a 1950s US bus..fake front end, note stone under front tyre, to stop it rolling away!!
Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2007-10-07 14:27	Are you sure it's an American bus? This is a German film. -- Last edit: 2007-10-07 14:27:08
Ingo ◊ 2007-10-07 14:33	But the desert-scenes weren't filmed in Germany. Otherwise, even here it's possible to find American cars, which never were officially imported. US-school-buses, original NYPD-cars and so on, a few of them you can find here, alle privately imported -- Last edit: 2007-10-07 14:57:00

Alexander ◊ 2007-10-09 01:22	2491tj wrote ... made from a 1950s US bus ... Any details available or just a guess? Resemblance is closer to the MAN E 3000, but it is far off anyway. /vehicle_27603-MAN-E-3000-1940.html
Junkman ◊ 2007-10-16 17:13	The bus is most likely of German origin. The 'lip' above the windscreens is a dead giveaway. It seems to be extensively modified, but the front wings look pre-war Mercedes-Benz L 3000.
Gurgel ◊ 2007-11-11 20:12	could also based on an english bus
chris40 ◊ 2007-11-11 21:01	No, junkman's right: it's either German or Austrian. There are similar bodies elsewhere on the site on Gräf u. Stift, MAN, Mercedes-Benz and Steyr chassis.
