Prototypes

The first vehicle that was built under license of Ansaldo, only five prototypes were made from 1922. They had a four-cylinder four-stroke engine with a 1000 cc displacement but later increased to 1250 cc and then 1350 cc. They later experiment making a more powerful and better-equipped car with displacement of up to 1500 cc. From 1924 and spring of 1925, around 5 4/16 hp (1250 cc) prototypes were developed and produced. By the end of 1925, 15 5/20 hp (1350 cc) prototypes were produced.

Model 7/28

The first mass-production model. Produced from 1925 (or 1927) to 1932 with 280 examples built. Powered by a 1478 cc four-cylinder engine offering 28 hp or 40 hp. The engine had hardened cylinder barrels, silumin engine block, 12 V battery ignition and dry disc clutch. It had a top speed of 44 mph. During its production, several body types were offered, including an open tourer, faux cabriolet and limousine. They also made a two-seater sport model called the 7/28 Sport.

Model 35

Built from 1930 to 1935, 150 examples were built. The 1743 cc four-cylinder engine produced 35 hp. It was offered in a four-seater phaeton, four- or six-seater limousine, open tourer, cabriolet or a landaulet body.

In 1931, they experimented with streamlining by fitting an aerodynamic body on a Type 35 chassis. Mass production were planned but setbacks caused it to never happen. Despite being well received by the press, the public wasn't ready for it. It was also expensive to produce and the performance and fuel consumption was lacklustre. Only 6 examples were made.
