1945 Dyson Articulated Landliner Six-wheeled Bus

Dysons, is a bus and coach operator in Victoria, Australia.

The articulated chassis of this Dyson Articulated Landliner Six-wheeled Bus allowed the front part of the bus to turn independently of the rest of the bus.

Here’s a very unique and technically interesting bus from our friends down under – it’s a Dyson Landliner and it plied the roads in Australia for several years back in the mid-to-late 1940’s.

1945 Dyson Articulated Landliner Six-wheeled Bus was a 30 passenger luxury touring coach which had airline style reclining seats, carpeted floors, refrigeration, tea servery, toilet, an observation cabin and hostess. It could also be seated for up to 60 for metro work. The front dolly housed the mechanical units, just like a conventional prime mover. Motive power was provided by two Ford side valve V8 engines mounted on either side of the dolly.
