The story

The company presented its first prototypes at the Paris Motor Show in October 1946 (1946-10). These were the Julien MM5 and the Julien VUP. During the following twelve months Julien negotiated successfully with the government, who controlled the necessary materials supplies, for permission to put the MM5 into production.
