Dolo (France) - AllCarIndex

Dolo was a French automobile manufacturer that operated briefly from 1947 to 1948. The company, officially known as Ets Brun, Dolo, Galtier & Cie, was based in Pierrefitte, Seine. Dolo became known for its distinctive and unconventional car designs, most notably the Dolo prototype displayed at the 1947 Paris Salon.

The Dolo prototype, referred to as the JB10, was a two-seater vehicle characterized by its unusual styling, which resembled a melted steam train and featured a Plexiglas dome. It was powered by a horizontally-opposed 571cc four-cylinder engine that produced 23 horsepower, with power directed to the front wheels. The JB10 also included a four-wheel independent suspension system, which was a notable feature for its time.

In addition to the JB10, Dolo planned to develop a larger model known as the JB20, which was intended to accommodate four to five passengers. This model was to be equipped with a more powerful 1142cc eight-cylinder engine, derived from coupling two four-cylinder engines, generating an output of 43 horsepower. However, the development of the JB20 was ultimately halted due to the company's involvement in a financial scandal that led to legal proceedings, resulting in the cessation of operations.
