Gautier (France) - AllCarIndex

Gautier was a French automobile manufacturer that operated briefly between 1902 and 1903. Founded by Charles Gaurier et Compagnie in Courbevoie, Seine, the company produced a variety of vehicles during its short existence.

The range of cars offered by Gautier included a small voiturette powered by a 6-horsepower single-cylinder engine sourced from De Dion-Bouton or Aster. In addition to this entry-level model, the company also manufactured larger vehicles equipped with engines of 12, 16, 22, and 30 horsepower, which were supplied by Aster or Mutel. The smaller models were available with either shaft or chain drive, while all larger models utilized chain drive systems.

Prior to establishing Gautier, Charles Gauthier had been a partner in the GAUTIER-WEHRLE enterprise, which contributed to his experience in the automotive industry. Despite the diversity of its offerings, it remains uncertain how many of the proposed models were actually produced during the company's operational period.
