Has this coachbuilder already been mentioned on AutoPuzzles ?

[Wendax]

Wouldn't that be boring? 

[Wendax]

I'm not sure whether coachbuilder really suits the manufacturer well, you could also call it a dealer with a bigger workshop.

[pnegyesi]

is the dealer still around?

[Wendax]

Not under that name, but it seems it evolved into still existing companies.

was it a distributor of a certain brand of passenger cars? I'm just looking at the 1956 issues of Austro-Motor and try to find a suitable company

[Wendax]

Back then when this Jeep was built he was a general distributor for two marques.

[pnegyesi]

was it one name or two names together?

[Wendax]

I've seen both, one name for the dealer and two for the coachbuilder/garage.
