Charles Deutsch
Charles Deutsch (1911–1980) was a French aerodynamics engineer and automobile maker, founder of the brand "DB" with René Bonnet, and later of the "CD".
==Early history==
Deutsch was born at Champigny-sur-Marne on 6 September 1911. His father was a cartwright who had also expanded into manufacturing automobile bodies on a small scale in the early 1900s. The young Deutsch procceded to learn his father's business from the ground up, a knowledge set complemented by a degree from the prestigious École Polytechnique.〔Borgeson, p. 55〕 Deutsch senior died in 1929, leaving the eighteen-year-old Charles in charge of the business while also pursuing his studies. This proved unfeasible, and in 1932 he sold the business to a René Bonnet, while continuing to live upstairs and maintaining a day-to-day involvement in the ''charronnerie-carrosserie''.〔
Charles Bonnet himself states that he was only fourteen when he designed his first car, which was built in his father's shop.〔 After a promised ride for Bonnet in the 1936 French Grand Prix failed to materialize, Deutsch and Bonnet proceeded to design their own car - using Citroën parts - which they competed with some success.〔Borgeson, pp. 56-57〕 This was D.B. 1, which gave rise to the DB company which lasted until 1961. After the breakup of the company, Deutsch proceeded to build a small number of lightweight, aerodynamic sports cars under the CD (sometimes referred to as CD-Panhard, since they depended on Panhard engines).
In 1935 Deutsch began working for the ''Ponts et Chaussées'', the French highway and bridge authority. He continued working full-time as a civil engineer, becoming chief engineer in 1951, while also running a competition car company and raising a family.〔 In 1966 Deutsch retired from the ''Ponts et Chaussées'' and proceeded to dedicate his entire time to his engineering firm.〔Borgeson, p. 71〕
