History
History
• Illustration — Bugatti Type 55 with bodywork by Billeter & Cartier The company was founded in Lyon in 1919. In the same year, the production of car bodies began. A license was taken over from Gustave Baehr, but not all bodies were built under Baehr's license. Limousine and torpedo bodies are mentioned. Most of the chassis came from the local manufacturers Berliet and especially Rochet-Schneider. In addition, some bodies were made for Renault and Bugatti. • Illustration — Hispano-Suiza H6B with bodywork by Billeter & Cartier In the 1930s, Berliet and Rochet-Schneider reduced their range of passenger cars. Production ended in 1935.
