Tracfort was a French automobile manufacturing venture that lasted from 1933 till late in 1934.2

The story

During the winter of 1933/34, Louis Carle founded Automobiles Tracfort at Courbevoie, by then a district in Paris. The car was developed by André Bournhonet who earlier had worked with a small Courbevoie based auto-maker called Derby.

Assembly took place at a manufacturing workshop, at Rue de Normandie 71 in Gennevilliers, ten minutes down the road from Courbevoie. The project involved producing front wheel drive cars under the Tracfort name, foreshadowing Citroën's highly successful Traction avant model that appeared in 1934.
