This 35mm slide captures a nostalgic moment from 1964 at the Susten Pass in Switzerland, showcasing a tour guide and driver posing by a MAN bus at the Susten Pass in Switzerland. The Susten Pass road, which connects the cantons of Bern and Uri, was opened in 1945 and was the first pass road in the Alps designed specifically for automobiles.
The vehicle bears the "M·A·N" logo and a license plate reading "BS-1883". MAN, which stands for Maschinenfabrik Augsburg-Nürnberg, is a German commercial vehicle manufacturer. The "BS" on the license plate typically indicates the canton of Basel-Stadt in Switzerland.

The vibrant color photograph highlights the natural beauty of the Swiss landscape, along with the fashion and vernacular of the 1960s. With a vintage feel, the slide features people, including women and men, interacting in a travel setting, making it a unique and collectible piece for photography enthusiasts and history buffs.
