Vintage Mercedes Benz, Gelang Patah, Johore

A view of the 1952 Mercedez Benz 300 Sedan(?) Quite a long journey for an old car i.e. from Penang to Johore ( the license plate is PA)

A 1965 Mercedes Benz Omni Bus ( ?) I'm sure all 40 to 50 yr old guys would have sat in one of these "Bas Sekolah" to school before?



Interesting gathering of vintage Mercedez Benz vehicles from the 1950-1960's era. Gave a heritage feel to the small town of Gelang Patah in Johore.
