Hmm, if this was their first car, the company must have been started in the late 1920s. And it's not in the Oswald book. But relatively well-known. Hmmm. Were they active mostly in the field of commercial vehicles?
Title: Re: Wendax 2428
Post by: Wendax on January 03, 2018, 02:43:40 AM
Yes, that was one of their fields of activity.

No, the coachbuilder in question didn't build any buses as far as I know.
Title: Re: Wendax 2428
Post by: pnegyesi on January 04, 2018, 11:56:52 AM
did they build truck bodies or complete trucks?
Title: Re: Wendax 2428
Post by: Wendax on January 04, 2018, 01:42:51 PM
They built some truck cabs and vans of their own design, but it is not what they are best known for.

Yes
Title: Re: Wendax 2428
Post by: pnegyesi on January 05, 2018, 04:54:45 AM
did they supply parts to the auto industry?
Title: Re: Wendax 2428
Post by: Wendax on January 05, 2018, 05:30:42 AM
Yes, but not in the classic sense.
Title: Re: Wendax 2428
Post by: pnegyesi on January 05, 2018, 07:27:12 AM
was it an aftermarket supplier?
Title: Re: Wendax 2428
Post by: Wendax on January 05, 2018, 07:48:49 AM
Yes, also. But their best known product was not aftermarket.
Title: Re: Wendax 2428
Post by: pnegyesi on January 05, 2018, 10:40:27 AM

would have been too easy.  I am trying to figure out what do you mean "not classic sense". Did they supply garages?
Title: Re: Wendax 2428
Post by: Wendax on January 05, 2018, 01:04:03 PM
No

Unlike standard part suppliers here the customer knows which parts came from this supplier and he wanted it this way.

Title: Re: Wendax 2428
Post by: Wendax on January 05, 2018, 01:25:47 PM
Although they have built vans on their own chassis long ago, it is not what they are known for nowadays.

Westfalia ?
Title: Re: Wendax 2428
Post by: Wendax on January 06, 2018, 04:54:18 AM
Bad luck, Pal, all questioning in vain as oko hits the solution. It is a Citroen B14G bodied as a Kombinationskraftwagen (estate car / station wagon / commerciale) by Westfalia, of course best known for their camper vans, but also for Unimog cabs, DKW-engined vans of their own design, Ford 12 M pickups, Gutbrod Superior wagons, trailers and towbars.
