A rare example where an engineer thought about the mechanic. (1950s)  A maintenance scene involving a 1949 DAF-Domburg bus, notable for its innovative "drawer-style" engine bay designed in the Netherlands.

- The Dutch manufacturer DAF designed this bus with a retractable, front-mounted engine that mechanics could slide out, similar to a drawer, for easy access.
- This design intended to streamline maintenance processes, allowing the diesel engine to be serviced, repaired, or completely removed from the subframe with minimal difficulty.
- To accommodate this sliding mechanism, the bus utilized a lengthy 5-foot slip yoke to control the drive shaft.

The clothing style agrees to 1974 but the woman in the pic is your grandmother and the little girl is your mother?

She looks more likely to be your wife and the kid is your daughter.
