The story
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 20 hp (15 kW). 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 30 hp (22 kW). 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.
