This coach, seen in Guatemala along the Panamerican Highway West of Guatemala City, is built on a Mercedes Benz OH (rear-engine) chassis from Argentina. Mercedes Benz Argentina delivers this type of chassis complete with rear and front end, which explains why the typical a-symmetric windscreen can be found on buses built by various bodybuilders, such as Metalpar from Chile, Ugarte and Bus from Argentina, and, in this case, Rosmo from Guatemala. The top of the front, with the typical "ribs" gives away that it was buit by Rosmo. Already around the beginning of the 1990's Rosmo built a similar model as a bus for Guatemala City." The chassis builder thus has to be Mercedes Benz Argentina.
