Diamant / La Francaise (France) - AllCarIndex

Diamant was a French automobile manufacturer active from 1901 to 1906, based in Paris. The company was founded by Hammond and Moutcret Compagnie, and it produced a range of conventional cars during its brief existence.

The early models of Diamant, particularly those from 1902, featured single-cylinder engines with outputs of 5 or 7 horsepower, as well as a 9-horsepower twin-cylinder engine and a 12-horsepower four-cylinder engine. By 1904, the company introduced a more powerful 24-horsepower four-cylinder engine, expanding its offerings to cater to a broader market.

In addition to automobiles, the brand was also associated with motorcycles, marketed under the name La Frankist. This name was used later when the company came under the control of Alcyon, reflecting its diversification into different types of motorized vehicles. Despite its short operational period, Diamant contributed to the early automotive landscape in France.
