Dalila (France) - AllCarIndex

Dalila was a French automobile brand that operated briefly from 1922 to 1923. The company, Bouquet et Compagnie, was based in Paris and focused on producing light cars during its short existence.

The Dalila models were powered by Ruby engines, which offered options of 6.9 or 7.5 horsepower. A distinctive feature of the Dalila was its suspension system, which utilized inverted semi-elliptic springs that extended the entire length of the vehicle. These springs were connected to the front and rear axles by metal arms, a design choice that set it apart from more conventional suspension systems of the time.

Despite its innovative approach to suspension, the Dalila struggled to gain traction in the market and ultimately ceased production after just two seasons. The brand's limited lifespan reflected the challenges faced by many small manufacturers in the competitive automotive industry of the early 20th century.
