1954 Büssing bus, Germany

A good name for a bus...  This 1954 Büssing 4000T has bodywork by Ernst Auwärter. Although the Neoplan Auwärter company was sold prior to this to MAN, the Ernst Auwärter company, which began in 1854 with argicultural machinery, continued and in 2004 celebrated its 150th Anniversary. The Wandervogel (migratory bird) sign on the side is that of a bus travel company which still exists.

In 1971 the Büssing company, which began in 1903 in Braunschweig and made buses and trucks, was taken over by MAN.
