Általános Mechanikai Gépyár / Székesfehérvar / HUNGARY ( 1955 - 1962 )
The General Mechanical Machinery Factory (ÁMG) in Székesfehérvar built lightweight aluminum buses and trailer. The buses were based on models from CZEPEL
Székesfehérvar is a town in Hungary. You can translate the name as: Throne White Castle.
One of the most beautiful postwar enamel emblems ever was used.

I don´t know if any ÁMG buses have survived. But there was a drawing of the 1955 - 1962 emblem, which was made by the Swedish boy Gustaf Moeller. Gustaf lived near the ferry port in Helsingborg / Sweden and drew the emblems of the waiting vehicles there. And one day, an ÁMG bus with that emblem drove by. What a great hobby that still helps and delights us years later:
