This particular LO 1112 originated from the Mercedes-Benz factory in Buenos Aires.

Fantastic light and capture of all these colorful and shiny details. It is quite curious to see that although the bus was originally from Argentina, the colors are those of the Colombian flag... probably an homage to the tango singer Carlos Gardel (the man in the portrait)? He died in 1935 in an airplane crash in Medellin (Colombia). V
