1932 CHENARD WALCKER Type: T8 cabriolet Serial no.: 1838376 Collector's registration 25 000 / 35 000€ A prestigious pre-war French brand, Chenard et Walcker began producing small motorized tricycles in the 1890s, before bringing out the first 4-wheel car in 1900. Featuring a twin-cylinder engine, it was quite different from the rest of French production. Moving near Paris in 1906, the company was awarded a major cab car order for the capital, which boosted Chenard et Walcker's figures and enabled them to start designing more personal cars. It was at this time that the Type T was born, with its relatively modern 4-cylinder engine and 4-speed gearbox. The First World War brought a huge leap forward for the company, which also manufactured tracked cars. The number of workers rose from 250 to a thousand. After the war, Chenard et Walcker made a name for itself in sports cars. The brand became a legend for winning the first Le Mans 24-hour race at an average speed of 92 km/h, with a French crew. The year was 1923, and the brand was at the peak of its history. At the 1928 Paris Motor Show, the 14 hp, six-cylinder T8 appeared. It was assembled in Gennevilliers, with components manufactured partly by Chenard Walcker and partly by Delahaye, which marketed it as a type 108. 1931-1932 were difficult years. In times of sluggish sales, manufacturers and retailers tend to multiply the number of products offered to customers. Chenard Walcker was no exception to the rule, and in 1932-1936 a veritable debauchery of models was offered to customers. The model offered was a three-position T8 cabriolet. The car is pleasant to drive, with good braking. Its older wire wheels give it a nice, streamlined look. We're offering you a great cabriolet to enter in the many pre-war rallies! 1932 CHENARD WALCKER Type : T8 cabriolet Serial number : 1838376 Collector's registration document 25 000 / 35 000€ A prestigious pre-war French marque, Chenard et Walcker began by producing small motorised tricycles in the 1890s before bringing out the first 4-wheeled car in 1900.
