Yes, any idea about the coachbuilder?

Locked for you.

Karosseriefabrik F K Gesellschaft from Wien(Vienna)

Wendax · December 15, 2014, 07:37:57 AM

According to the description at the museum where I took the photo, the bodywork for this one came from a different coachbuilder, although its name also started with K and it was from Vienna, too.

Majeko · December 15, 2014, 07:51:01 AM

Would that name be Keibl? His first name was Ferdinand.

Wendax · December 15, 2014, 07:56:17 AM

Not Keibl, and the coachbuilder's first name didn't start with F.

Majeko · December 15, 2014, 08:06:38 AM

You're right. It was build by Kastenhofer

Wendax · December 15, 2014, 08:16:37 AM

Correct, one more point for you.

The pictured car was the first Denzel with steel body. It is the oldest surviving Denzel, and the only surviving Denzel four-seater as well.
I'm not sure whether it had an official name, but the one you mentioned is often used for it.
