Darmont (France) - AllCarIndex

Darmont was a French automobile manufacturer that operated from 1924 until 1939, based in Courbevoie, Seine. The company was known for producing three-wheeled vehicles, which were among the most recognized in France during its time, alongside the Sandford brand. The design of Darmont vehicles was heavily influenced by the British Morgan, making them visually similar.

Throughout its production run, Darmont offered various models, including those equipped with side-valve engines, both air-cooled and water-cooled. The air-cooled variant was known as the Erode de France. Among its offerings, the most powerful model was the Darmont Special, which featured an overhead valve engine and could reach speeds of up to 100 mph (160 km/h) in its supercharged version. All Darmont vehicles utilized license-built Blackburne V-twin engines.

In 1936, the company expanded its lineup by introducing a four-wheeled model called the Darmont Junior, which also featured a Blackburne-type V-twin engine. Production of Darmont vehicles continued until 1939, marking the end of the brand's operations.
