Albatros (France) - AllCarIndex

Albatros was a French automobile manufacturer founded in 1912 by Henri Billouin in Paris. The company initially gained recognition for its production of bicycles and motorcycles before venturing into the automotive sector. In the same year of its establishment, Albatros introduced a light four-cylinder car, marking its entry into the automobile market.

Despite its brief foray into car manufacturing, Albatros promoted its automotive offerings by highlighting its success in competitive racing, claiming 91 victories in 92 races in an advertisement published in La Vie au Grand Air in June 1912. However, it is important to note that this impressive record likely pertained primarily to their two-wheeled vehicles rather than their automobiles.
