In 1941, bus was evacuated to Leningrad, then was driven back to Estonia. The bus is very often glimpsed at various events - song festivals, parades and so on. This bus existed until 1977 - then Andrei Tarkovsky, burnt old props bus for the "Stalker" (the movie was filmed in Estonia). -- Last edit: 2015-05-14 18:17:06 |

The body was not built in Estonia, but in Berlin by Lutherhand & Freytag. A second one was built for Romania. Should the origin or the assembly country be Germany? For such cases you would think they sourced a German Ford. |

No, no, Luther took all his hands with him (remember Luther's 95 protheses? Ok, let's move on...  ) and it's actually Luchterhand & Freytag.May I ask where this info comes from?  There's hardly any information about their early work, as the company's archive and the vast majority of their vehicles didn't survive the war. Might well be one of their bodies, though, and in that case I agree with your suggestions. |

http://eag.vanatehnika.ee/eweriautod.html#muud_eriotstarbelised_soidukid "In late May 1938 Eesti Kultuurfilm's new FORD (A-1846) sound production vehicle arrived in Tallinn from Berlin. The vehicle was bodied in Berlin by Luchterhand & Freytag, the interior design was built by Klangfilm. Another such vehicle was built for Romania. The car was equipped with Klangfilm sound recording apparatus, places for the operator and camera and on the roof a platform for the operators. For filming, the car could be secured to one spot by a special support mechanism and the wheels lifted off the ground so the motion wouldn't disturb the filming. It was equipped with accumulators for working during a blackout and windows that could be darkened. The vehicle cost Eesti Kultuurfilm about 23,000 kroons. In 1941 the Ford was taken to Leningrad, but miraculously it survived the war there and was able to be brought back to Tallinn. It was in use by several Estonian film men and the general driver since 1938 was still Mihkel Vaarmaa. The former Eesti Kultuurfilm sound production vehicle found its sad end during filming of Andrey Tarkovski's film "Stalker" in 1977-78, when it was set on fire in Jägala for the film." BTW, "Hõbehall" was a different bus - an International reportage bus bodied in Finland, the first such vehicle in the Baltics, equipped with state-of-the-art technology. At the outbreak of the war, Hõbehall was taken to the Soviet backland where it was destroyed. -- Last edit: 2021-08-11 22:41:23 |
