1949 Hotchkiss 864
The cars of the brand Hotchkiss were produced from 1903 to 1955 by Hotchkiss et Cie from Paris. Two crossed cannons adorned on the company's logo, reminiscent of the past of the company, as a manufacturer of weapons.
First Hotchkiss et Cie turned to automotive topics at the beginning of the 20th century, when it began to produce engine parts for companies Panhard et Levassor, De Dion-Bouton and others. The company produced the first fully own motor in 1903. The first car of the company, the
model 17 CV, appeared in the same year.
Hotchkiss 864 became one of the first post-war car of the company. The production resumed at the company after the end of World War II, but slowly - in 1946 and 1947 only 100 cars were produced. But in 1948 things went uphill, and the company already produced 460 cars. Hotchkiss 864 essentially was the pre-war model. Under the hood it had a 4-cylinder engine of 2,312 cm3.
