Sodomka

They bodied cars and buses from various Czech companies (Aero, Laurin & Klement, Praga, Škoda, Tatra, Walter), as well as foreign cars (e.g. Bugatti, Ford, Graham, Lancia, Nash, Rolls-Royce, LaSalle (for the British royal family), Studebaker and others).

It was originally called the First East Bohemian Carriage Manufacture of Josef Sodomka.

After the First World War came the Great Depression and the search for another production programme began.

In 1928, the company produced their first bus body on a Škoda 125 chassis with a capacity for fourteen passengers and other bus bodies on Praga, Škoda, Tatra and Walter chassis.

In the 1930s, Karoserie Sodomka became a successful company, winning elegance competitions and car shows.
