Automobile production

Lombard took a stand at the 20th Paris Motor Show in October 1926 and exhibited the car they would be selling in 1927. The Lombard AL3 was powered by a 4-cylinder twin-overhead camshaft engine of 1,083cc. Some of the engines on the production cars would be fitted with superchargers.

By the time production ended, in 1929, (approximately) 94 cars were recorded as having been produced, almost all of which were AL3s.

Production locations

Initially the cars were produced by E. Briault in Courbevoie. From 1928 the cars were assembled by The Émile Salmson sons (Les Fils de É. Salmson) at Boulogne-Billancourt. Another source indicates that the cars were assembled at Argenteuil by BNC. All the production locations given here were geographically close together, in a district that had become the country's principal centre for automobile production, on the north-western fringes of Paris. When production ended in 1929 it was BNC that acquired the components inventory and a number of half finished Lombards.
