The story
The M. Tholomé company was located at Rue Godillot 27 in Saint-Ouen, Seine-Saint-Denis.
In the years directly following the First World War there were many people keen to buy cars but unable to afford them. Cyclecars which were in effect just like normal cars but smaller, lighter and cheaper were a response to this demand, and cyclecar manufacturers proliferated in several European countries, especially France. Tholomé was among the more prominent French cycle car makers. A Tholomé advertisement from 1920 highlights one particular attraction: the car’s weight of 320 kg (i.e. less than 350 kg) meant that it qualified for a reduced annual car tax charge of only 100 francs.
