I wouldn't call him well-known, but not obscure either. One of his specialities seem to have been COE cabs like this one.

Good guess, but no
Hint: Wackenhut was a good guess, because their main business and customer was the same as the puzzle coachbuilder's.

Hmmm. Assuming that the customer was Daimler-Benz and that the main business of this coachbuilder was fire trucks... Could it be Ziegler ?
You are right with Daimler-Benz, but I didn't mean fire trucks...
So, not Ziegler.
