Product Description
- For several years, the Ludwig brothers in Essen, Germany, have been installing their own body designs on the chassis bases of the trucks of major German car manufacturers.
- In the 1930s Ludwig & Co. cooperated particularly closely with Opel.
- After the appearance of the Opel Blitz 3t truck, Ludwig brothers developed several new concept bodies for this vehicle.
- One of them was a bus with a new sleek and rounded body.
- Designers at Ludwig Studio deviated from the traditional Opel shape commonly found in trucks and other buses to create a new rounded shape for the front of the body.
- The bonnet was elegantly combined with the front wheel fenders.
- On the rear of the body was an aerodynamic crest reminiscent of the fins of a giant fish.
- The interior was also different from the usual seating arrangement.
- Passenger seats were placed at a 45 degree angle to the window for the best view and the back seats were sofa-like chairs.
- This bus was individually made in the Ludwig workshop, as production was quite expensive even at that time.
- However, at the start of World War II, at least one of these vehicles was requisitioned by the Wehrmacht and used on the Eastern Front, such as to transport officers.
