Coq (France) - AllCarIndex

Coq was a French automobile brand established in 1920 by Robert de Coqucreamont in Rouen, Seine-Inférieure. The brand was known for its development of a unique cyclecar, which was a lightweight vehicle designed to be economical and efficient.

The Coq cyclecar featured a 2-stroke engine paired with a four-speed gearbox, which was a notable configuration for vehicles of that era. Its design included a torpedo body, which was characteristic of many cyclecars during the early 20th century. Additionally, the vehicle was equipped with electric lighting and starting systems, features that were not universally available in minimal cars at the time.

Despite its innovative design and features, the Coq brand was short-lived and likely did not progress beyond the prototype stage. The limited production and eventual discontinuation of the brand meant that it did not achieve significant recognition in the automotive industry.
