the doors are NSU, the dashboard is Mercedes and the bumpers maybe, too. The Fiat 1800 is the Neckar-version. The "small size omnibus" is a Hearse, based on Opel- or Hanonag-basis, as it seems. AnimatronixX knows more. -- Last edit: 2019-12-31 01:13:07 |

See, this is why I love all these documentaries with random cars passing by. Correct: "Unknown Ambulance" is the exact model name here, let's leave it like this. Body by Binz or Miesen. :wow: What an amazing find, sixcyl & Ingo! That's half a needle in 50 haystacks: A Hanomag (A?)L 28, bodied by the legendary Luchterhand & Freytag of Berlin. Not a single of their magnificent hearses is known to have survived, which is why I urgently demand an own page for this beauty. Here's what it looked like at slower speed: And here's what our other one looks like: |

A pic of a maybe third version you can find on page 108 in this excellent book: https://www.christoph-links-verlag.de/mobile.cfm?view=3&titel_nr=198 A pic from the 20.6.1957 from the transfer of the mortal remains of Link to "www.spd.de" from West-Berlin to Hamburg. Maybe a third version, because on that photo you see a hinted back wing, which ours here don't have. It's not completely visible. The front is hidden by Otto Suhr and Willy Brandt. -- Last edit: 2019-12-31 18:39:37 |

@AnimatronixX: in the series "Das war dann mal weg" you can see in the episode about the Transit to West-Berlin for a few seconds a Mercedes T2-Hearse with a similar looking coachwork. |

@Ingo Thanks - never spotted it (even though I watched that episode before). Looks like Rappold or Stolle, but I'm guessing. Not L&F any more, but they built a few of these Hanomag and Opel Blitz ones similar to what we see above. |
