Was De Vizcaya a Hungarian coachbuilder :)?

Sounded foreign enough to me... ??? What about Paul Jaray?

pnegyesi

No, the leader of this coachbuilding company was a Hungarian engineer living and working in Hungary. Paul Jaray was of Hungarian origin, but he never lived or worked in Hungary.

Is that a medicine or a coachbuilder :)?

Another guess : Frohner & Pásztélyi?

pnegyesi

We already established that this is not by them.

I have just learnt that a Hungarian website is now offering you the solution - though you have to research a little

Metallo was set up by György Piltzer, an engineer. He was comitted to steel bodies and had a lot of patents between 1927-1928. Metallo was relatively succesful and even bodied some buses in the 1930s - in addition to the usual assortment of individual PC assigments and a few trucks.
