SALMSON AL 3 1924 VP SALMSON Bodywork : CABR Serial number type : 8904 DMEC : 01/01/1924 Energy : ES Power : 7 Color : BLUE WITH CARTE GRISE The lot is exposed at the Palais des Congrès de Beaune Expertise : Patrick Michalik Serial number : 8904 Administrative document : Collection registration certificate - No technical control Date of entry into service : 1924 Initially known for its aircraft engines, the French company Salmson quickly turned to the automotive sector. Designed by André Lombard, the AL 3 model manufactured in 1924 proved to be one of the most efficient cyclecars of its generation. At the front of the vehicle is an engine coupled to a 3-speed gearbox. This allows the car to have a maximum speed of 110km/h, a sustained pace and a great reliability. To give it a sporty look, the roadster bodywork reveals a two-door, two-seat convertible characterized by its weight. Our example was restored a few years ago, and a revision should allow it to return to the road quickly.
