• Illustration — Illustration of the Coadou-Fleury cyclecar from 1920 In 1921, a pilot, Marcel Coadou, founded the automobile manufacturing company of Coadou-Fleury, based in Trébeurden, France. Its vehicles were manufactured in Paris, France. The first vehicle manufactured by the company was a cyclecar. It had a Ruby sidevalve V4 engine with an engine displacement of either 850 cc or 903 cc, producing about hp-metric. The vehicle had a monocoque body. It failed to attract customers, because of its high price. In 1927, a further developed version of the Citroën Type B2 overhead valve engine was used, now producing hp-metric. To vehicle was also equipped with four-wheel brakes. Later, the coupe version was also manufactured. The last model that was made by the company was the Coadou-Fleury Aérolithe, which had an aerodynamic body. One unit has been preserved to the present day. The company was dissolved in 1934.
