Louis Chenard was a French producer of automobiles, making cars at Colombes, near Paris from 1920 till 1932.〔Georgano: ''The Beaulieu Encyclopedia of the Automobile.''〕〔Georgano: ''Autos. Encyclopédie complète. 1885 à nos jours.''〕〔Linz, Schrader: ''Die Internationale Automobil-Enzyklopädie.''〕 Louis Chenard was always a relatively low volume manufacturer. Engines were bought in, mostly from Chapuis-Dornier. There is no connection between Louis Chenard and the larger, better remembered Chenard & Walcker company. ==The cars== Louis Chenard's first car was a 7/9CV presented in 1920, featuring a 4-cylinder 1¼-litre engine and 3 forward speeds.〔 4-speed transmissions and a choice of engines soon followed.〔 At the time of the 19th Paris Motor Show, in October 1924, the Louis Chenard range was focused on two models.〔 The "Louis Chenard Type D" competed in the 7HP class.〔 It was powered by a 1095cc overhead valve engine and sat on a wheelbase.〔 The other model closely resembled the "Type D", but its 1495cc engine placed it in the 10HP class, and its wheelbase made it slightly longer.〔 Fitted with "Torpedo" bodies the two models were in 1924 priced by the manufacturer at respectively 18,000 francs and 22,900 francs. The same range was on offer two years later at the 20th Paris Motor Show in October 1926.〔〔''There was no "Salon de l'Automobile" in 1925 due to the venue having been allocated to an Exhibition of Decorative Arts''.〕 Prices had increased, however, and "Torpedo" bodied versions were in 1926 priced by the manufacturer at 26,950 francs (7HP) and 32,750 francs (10HP).〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Louis Chenard」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
