The Crinklestache!
Most people today would know Daimler as the pioneer German car maker and owner of Mercedes-benz, but there was once a second Daimler, a British one!
This second Daimler began in 1896, licensing the German name with a change of pronunciation from the German "Dime-ler" to the British "Daym-ler"
The Coventry based company manufactured Buses and trucks aswell as high end luxury cars, all with its distinctive fluted topped chrome radiator grills.
But what would happen to that fluted, crinkly grill when in 1960 they introduced the Fleetline, a new rear-engined bus with no front radiator or grill? what were they to Flute?!
The answer was simple,
Crinklestache!
I cant help but think it makes the bus so much cuter! 😂
