Did this manufacturer produce cars too or only trucks ?

So it's a 1929 Chevrolet-based truck made for a toy shop in Königsberg : despite this great amount of information I can't find anything about it. A very hard puzzle definitely !

Should I try to identify the coachbuilder or is it totally obscure ?

You've worked hard for this puzzle so far. I will give you a clue: the coachbuilder was from Königsberg as well.

No, what's missing for the point is just the coachbuilder from Königsberg, not the toyshop this truck was built for.

I don't know of any other cars or trucks, but the company existed for several decades, at least including predecessors.

Were these predecessors horse carriage coachbuilders ?
