Please identify chassis, coachbuilder and year for a point
Experts?
I suppose it is not from Hungary, despite the writing?
Coachwork is Hungarian
Professionals?
French chassis?
no
Austro-Daimler?
Year must be around 1910?
not Austrian chassis and younger than 1910
German?
yes, German chassis, Hungarian body. There is an article on this car available somewhere on the net :)
Rex Simplex chassis?
no
Mercedes - Benz chassis?
no
Opel chassis?
yes, with that you just earned a 24-hour lock.
Since I know absolutely nothing about early Opels, I can only guess 1915 Opel Blitz chassis.
Please unlock as I've nothing to add.
well, the chassis is one thing, the coachbuilder would be more important.
It is a bit earlier than 1915 and definitely not a Blitz
Open for all again
I have just been informed that in a weeks' time you can solve this puzzle very easily.
In other words, a directory of Hungarian coachbuilders with short introduction on each will finally be published on our site.

That's wonderful news!
In the meantime is the coachwork by Glattfelder?
No, but you are in the right direction :)
I have to say I don't know very much about Hungarian coachbuilders or where they were located. (I guess all will be revealed soon :))
Another guess - Frohner-Pasztelyi?
No, Glattfelder was closer in terms of the right era (coachbuilders mainly active before 1st WW). Frohner-Pasztelyi was set up after 1st WW
Zupka?
not Zupka
Nagy Geza? (I have no idea if it's in the right era)
It's not in the right era. Géza Nagy was active from the mid-1920s.
The only other name I have to offer is Balogh and I have no idea if that's within the correct time span either......
Balogh was also active in the late 1920s. Not by him
Röck
Rock was not a coachbuilder
Sorry, I thought they did commercial and bus bodies.
Röck was a machine factory which also produced passenger car chassises
Kölber?
Yes. This is a röntgen (X-ray) automobile prepared by the Kölber carriage company on an Opel chassis in 1913. Photo is from the Smidt Múzeum in Szombathely, Hungary
