Nous sommes devant le Casino municipal, à Nice très probablement.![[Image: 150409feyder35pensionm059.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/17160/150409feyder35pensionm059.jpg) ![[Image: 150409feyder35pensionm057.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/17160/150409feyder35pensionm057.jpg) Le bus porte sur son flanc les noms des principaux arrêts de la ligne : "Riquier - Port Masséna - Gare PLM - Bd Tzarévitch" |

Hmm... According to my infos (Bernard Vermeylen: "Panhard & Levassor - entre tradition et modernité") the ZUGUR (Panhard used capitals for this kind of codes) was a K53 (Châssis pour transports rapides, 5000 kg, of which 101 were built between April 1931 and July 1936. And the K63 was hors catalogue (without a letter-code) for autobus 'Ville de Paris', 57 were built between January and September 1934. Six of these K63 were exported, so 'Ville de Paris' means rather the type than the destination of the bus. The differents in months between my infos and what fsubus writes is rpobably due to the fact that I got the dates of the chassis and he got the dates of the ready-to-drive bus. The coachwork on this Niçois bus is different from the Paris Panhard K63, the style looks a bit like a Besset body. I think I would go for : Panhard & Levassor Autobus [K63]. But I'm not 100% sure... |

Mmmh… Those [K63] 'exported', would it be "dressed up", with the caisse? In this case, this woudn't be one (I think I found one of them, here: /vehicle_757833-Panhard-and-Levassor-K-63-D-Bla-1937.html made for the TCRP): the body differs too much. But, as you suggest, another body builder could have been used. The bus, here, is photographed on fall/winter 1934. In Paris, according to Link to "www.amtuir.org" there were 2x2 batches of Panhard delivered: — K63a (full front wheels) in 1934 and K63b (artillery wheels) in 1935 Link to "www.amtuir.org" — K63c (open end) and K63d (banlieue latéral like the TN4HBla) in 1937 Link to "www.amtuir.org" If fsebus used other sources — he seemed to have quite a collection of archives about local transport systems — I would call the one in main pic a K53 ZUGUR : "transports rapides" suggests inter-city fares, and that is what this bus looks made for, to the exception of the open platform at the rear requested by its use in the city of Nice. -- Last edit: 2015-04-10 10:37:19 |
