No, parts of the name of your previous guess are part of the solution

Is "Verksted" part of the name of the coachbuilder ?

Bodied by Harstad ?

Four letters of your previous answer above, can be found in the solution in the same arranging

Assuming that "stad" are the four letters, and knowing that Harstad and Repstad are not correct, I looked for the cities having stad at the end of their names, and found three, but nothing here.

But "stad" can also be part of a name, as in "Brødrene Repstads Karosserifabrikk". It is the case with Kristianstad, which was probably the old name for Kristiansund. But nothing here, too. But I don't have any idea where to look, and Google doesn't help to find the karosserifabrikk.

I'm stuck

To be honest, I agree to all you wrote in your last message. Me too, never heard of this company before I found the picture of this bus

No

Sorry, 'gte4289', made a mistake by answering 'Laastad Karosseri' wit 'NO'! I should have correctly answered with 'YES' (pardon, confused with another puzzle of mine)
It's from 1955; don't know the type of the Volvo
The point is yours!
