1924 Samlson Grand Sport L<\/h1>\n
\n

Emile Salmson founded his company in 1919 in Billancourt. His extremely lightweight racers were especially suited for cyclecar-racing. Family members of coach manufacturer Wenger raced their Salmson at local and international hill climbs.<\/span><\/p>\n

This Salmson Grand Sport L was built by Carrosserie Wenger of Basle for hill climb racing, and is still used by family members for that purpose.<\/p>\n

After the war, Salmson switched to producing passenger cars. Renault bought the assets when he went out of business in 1957.<\/p>\n
