Weasel1984 ◊ 2014-06-13 16:18	With minor differences reminds Volvo B58-60 bodied by Aabenraa: http://myldretid.dk/billeder/vis_billede.php?foto_id=2950 Unfortunately I'm unable to find rear view pic of this vehicle. Similar body on the same Volvo chassis was made also by the DAB, but seems it always had driver side window in rectangle shape (due to the more vertical windshield).
zodiac ◊ 2014-06-14 20:25	I agree with your suggestion, but with some additional information. 1967-70 Volvo B 58-60 with Aabenraa body. I don't know if the middle window could (be ordered to) be split (during the whole production) like in your picture, but a drawing on page 195 in Kai W. Mosgaard, "10 år med HT busser" (10 years with HT busses), Sporvejshistorisk Selskab 1984, shows a similar bus as above, and also the rear looks similar. The drawing is dated 7-6-68. -- Last edit: 2014-06-14 20:29:26
Weasel1984 ◊ 2014-06-16 22:49	This is interesting info. It looks like this splitted left middle window was maybe related with the door config(?). So it looks like it was splitted in city buses vis-à-vis 2nd doors in 2-2-0 door config. The bus in movie looks for 2-0-2. Well doesn't make sense at first glance, but maybe there was some reason...
