| 摘要： | Swapping bodies and chassis may have been routine on RTs and Routemasters at London Transport's Aldenham Works, but was much less common elsewhere. Glasgow Corporation undertook it on three double-deckers in the early 1960s, one of them the subject of this month's Vintage Fenton File. Glasgow split its orders between 1947 and 1953, taking 110 Daimlers along with 265 AEC Regent Ⅲs and 138 Albion Venturers. Most of the Daimlers were 7ft 6in wide CVD6 double- and single-deckers, but two double-deckers were its first 8ft wide motorbuses. D60, the rare CD650 described by Mike Fenton on the following page, was the 40th in an order for Alexander-bodied CVD6s. It arrived eight months after D66 (FYS 494), with one of only eight double-deck bodies built by Mann Egerton, entered service in January 1951; the Norwich coachbuilder exhibited D66 at the Commercial Motor Show at Earls Court in London the previous September. As is apparent in Jim Thomson's photograph taken between 1955 and 1958, the wheels of its 7ft 6in wide chassis sat 3in within the mudguards on either side. |
