1960 mercedes-benz 319 bus

US$189,500.00 Mercedes-Benz has had a long history of building trucks and commercial vehicles; in fact, it is the company founder Gottlieb Daimler who is credited with creating the very first motorized truck in 1886 – a cart with a 4hp twin-cylinder petrol engine. He found swift success and would soon expand his offerings with 10, 8 and 6 horsepower versions that could carry upwards of 11,000 pounds and cementing the horseless carriage’s importance within industry. Prior to Daimler’s merger with Karl Benz in 1926, both firms had ventured into diesel truck production, which carried over once the two merged and Mercedes-Benz was born. They continued to be pioneers in the industry with the first diesel powered light truck in 1932 and a whole series of medium and heavy duty trucks following through to the outbreak of WWII.In the mid -1950s, Mercedes commercial vehicle lineup included large trucks and buses, as well as small, city-type delivery vehicles. Medium duty trucks such as the Opel Blitz were selling well and Mercedes Benz wanted in on the action. The L 319 and its bus counterpart the O 319 debuted in 1955 to take on the middle-weight market. It featured a front engine “forward control” arrangement with a large glasshouse and pleasing styling. An array of bodies were available, from delivery vans to flatbeds to small buses. The stylish and versatile L/O 319 proved a great success for Mercedes and established them as leaders in the medium duty truck market. Today’s collectors have fallen for the charming good looks and impressive quality, and the compact size makes them very versatile for regular use. As a result, values continue to be on the rise.This truly remarkable 1961 O 319 bus has been fully restored to a high standard and extensively yet subtly modified into a...
