CBA / CCA (Spain) - AllCarIndex

Cia Balear de Automovilcs (CBA) was a Spanish automobile manufacturer founded in 1982 by Thomas Wadstrom on the Balearic island of Mallorca. The company specialized in producing vehicles that featured vintage designs, utilizing the platform of the Citroën 2CV. CBA's lineup included three distinct models: the Condesa, the Duquesa, and a pick-up variant, all of which were characterized by their polyester bodies and intricate brass detailing.

The vehicles produced by CBA gained recognition and served as a promotional symbol for the Balear Tourist Board, leading to sales in several countries. However, in 1985, the company sought to expand its operations into the production of larger cars. This ambition was cut short by the untimely death of Wadstrom in 1986, which significantly impacted the company's future.

In 1987, there was an attempt to revive the brand under the name CCA on the Canary Islands, but this effort ultimately proved unsuccessful. Cia Balear de Automovilcs ceased operations shortly thereafter, marking the end of its brief existence in the automotive industry.
