Thanks bunches Unca Joel!

But I gotta question!

My buses VIN doesn't follow the xxx-xxx-xxx (although it looks 
similar).  My tag looks as follows:

______________________________________________________________

My chasis number is 325192.  According to the chart here, do I have a 
'58???

The year (Baujahr) is blank!
