Aloisie a Božena Weinfurterová bought a withdrawn bus body of
the Czech bus Praga RND in March 1964. The reason was to acquire a garden cottage quickly, cheaply and easily.
By that time it wasn´t anything unusual.

|
The bus was bought in scrapyard of
„Mototechna“ company in Pilsen. This scrapyard has been working until
now at the same place as „Walter“ company, at street. Nepomucká 111,
Pilsen

On the plate of the cabin is printed "ČSAD
Plzeň No..823034", on the steps is printed No. 73004.

A part of timetable has
been in operation in a driver´s
cabin until now. It says, that
this bus was last on regular
service no.: 03414 Klatovy-Nýrsko-Sv.Kateřina
and line no.: 03416 Děpoltice-Nýrsko-Liščí.
The seats on the bus were situated in rows along the sides
of a bus. This was typical for buses operating in cities.

This photo was taken in
April 1964, shortly after buying the bus. The vehicle is in original
colours of CSAD. At the bottom is khakhi colour, because in that time all
the buses could be used for army purposes in case of war. Behind the
windows was an orange line. Around windows and the roof was an ivory colour.
In front of the bus is
standing a current owner of the bus who is three years old with his father.

A current owner of the
bus is standing in front of his
beloved toy in that time and nowadays too. Photo was made around 1964.
The bus doesn´t have an
original paint.
|
|
|
It was obvious from the begining, that the
preservation of the bus will be very difficult. The outside standing body
needs painting very often. The original colours were changed into red
colour. It can be seen in the photo from the August 1971.
