1938 Mercedes-Benz O 10000 "Mobile Postoffice"

Mercedes Benz Museum, Stuttgart

The O 10000 was used in the 1930th as an urban bus and long-distance coach and impressed people by its very size.
The vehicle on show served with the Austrian Postal Service as a parcel truck after World War II on the Salzburg-Vienna route.
Later on, it was converted into a mobile post office and was used at events like the Salzburg Festival or as a temporary post office.
