A smart coach. Who was the manufacturer? What was the name of this coach? What was the type designation? When was it built?

Yes, it is the Odra A 81, which was based on the Żubr (Bison) A 80 truck. It was only a prototype, because the A 81 had the same engine problems as the
A 80. In 1955, however, they weren't ready yet and I'm still missing the manufacturer.
Locked for pguillem.

Yes, it was built by Jelcz. The only thing missing now is the correct year of manufacture.

Yes, this one-off was built in 1957. The first test drives of the A 80 truck began in 1955 and, despite the problems with the engine, series production began in 1960. There was probably no alternative. From 1958, the Skoda 706 RTO chassis was used for bus production.
