Menkhar Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 I would like to identify a manufacturer or brand of tourist coach from a photo album from 1930s. A coach was used for a trip to North Africa in summer 1936. Tourist Agency was from Prague, Czechoslovakia (today Czech Republic), but coach should be from another country. Thank you very much in advance! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 (edited) Looks to be maybe about a 1931 Citroen....here is an example. The fenders on the truck in question seem to be newer. Edited June 23, 2021 by keiser31 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintman Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Correct ! One of the first Citroen busses was introduced in Paris in 1931 when Andre Citroen wanted to become a bus operator as well as manufacturer. Flat upright radiator means it was based on the Citroen C6 car. The first bus was a steel bodied Citroen C6G1 22 seater of which 800 were made between 1931 and 1933. A larger 29 seater Type U45 was introduced at end 1933 for long distance routes which Citroen entered in the Monte Carlo Rally!! Finished winner of class as no other busses on the Monte! C6 was also a basis for a range of trucks. Regards Vintman (UK) www.svvs.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
