D'Iteren Freres has quite a fascinating history, and is still very much in the automotive business in Europe, or at least they were the last time I Googled them. In the Classic era they were best known for their custom coachwork, done on many chassis but especially on the Belgian Minerva. Post war they also operated a VW assembly unit, if I recall correctly.
I have a friend here in NJ who owns a massive, original 8-cylinder sleeve valve Minerva by fabric coachwork by D'Iteren Freres, perhaps under license from Weymann who was the most prolific maker of fabric bodies.
