The Csonka was a Hungarian automobile manufactured by János Csonka (1852–1939) in Budapest from 1909 until 1912. Csonka had previously designed some small vans which had been made by the large Ganz company but in 1909 he set out on his own and made a few one-off cars. In 1909 the first series production car was introduced which had a single-cylinder engine and was the first Hungarian car to have shaft drive.2 It was founded in 1900.1 Wikipedia text CC BY-SA 4.0
