Place: Paris

Country: France

Classic was a French automobile brand that operated from 1924 to 1928, under the ownership of Compagnie Generale de Voitures a Paris, based in Paris, France. The brand primarily produced medium-sized cars that were powered by a 1846cc four-cylinder Chapuis-Domier engine, with an alternative option of a 1593cc sleeve-valve engine.

The majority of Classic vehicles were designed for commercial use, particularly as taxis or light trucks, reflecting the company's background as a well-known taxicab operator. At the 1926 Paris Salon, Classic showcased a landaulette and a tourer, indicating a brief foray into more diverse body styles. The design of their taxis featured a pointed radiator and disc wheels, which bore a resemblance to the Citroën B2.

In addition to its main offerings, Classic also produced a smaller model known as the Celtic (iii) and engaged in the sale of its designs to another manufacturer, Léon Max. Despite its short production run, Classic contributed to the automotive landscape of the time through its focus on practical vehicles for urban transportation.
