Not by them - you're in the wrong half of the alphabet!

Well I don't think that this answer is correct, but I'm getting desperate, and it is Belgian, does have six letters and is in the first half of the alphabet.  I know this firm only started in the 70's, but it specializes in rebuilding classic and vintage cars.  So I'll try: Jolley.

Not by Jolley I'm afraid....

The Experts appear to have run out of ideas for this tourer, so I'm promoting it to the Pros for a quick solution.....

That's correct!
Carrosserie V. & L. Colson (later J. Colson) was situated in Liège and also built cars on Minerva and Nagant chassis.
Another point for you PJ

Congrats PJ. 

Can you, or anyone else out there, give me an on-line reference for Colson (or for that matter Gybels)?  For all my work on this puzzle, I never ran across either name on-line (not once), and, even with the name(s), Googling turns up nothing (except a correct Gybels answer on a previous puzzle by woodinsight).

Thanks, in advance, to anyone with an informative link.

Sorry 4popold, my sources for Gybels and Colson came from my library. I don't know of any on-line source. I'm sure other members may be able to help.

I found the same pic in a book about cars from Belgium and few lines about Colson on the Beaulieu Encyclopedia.
