Grégoire 2 liter "R"
The Grégoire R is the only prototype that lead to a small serie made by Hotchkiss who thought that this model could save it! The body of the R is the result of numerous test in windtunnel by Rateau, a French turbine constructor.
The body of melt light aluminium alliage is exposed at Paris motorshow 1948.
From above to below : Prototype R, pre-serie Hotchkiss-Grégoire, "serie" Hotchkiss-Grégoire
Engineer Grégoire between prototype R and pre-serie Hotchkiss.
Hotchkiss-Grégoire 1952
Coach and cabriolet Chapron 1953

Mathis 666 (6 cylinders - 6 seats - 6 speeds)
After the 333 from the aerodynamician Jean Andreau (see # 1341), the 666
The interesting body type Vutotal of the prototype 1948 is left the following year.
Another example of Vutotal windshield licence Labourdette on a Peugeot 202 - 1938
Last appearance of one Mathis at Paris motorshow 1949. It is only a frame without body.

A 2 CV with servo-suspension F-L, an active suspension developed by the engineer Jean Federspiel in 1952!
The horizontal springs of the 2 CV are hidden under the floor. They are activated by a rigid stem connected to the suspension arm. The engineer replaces this stem by one hydraulic jack that allow to change the body height.
The 2 CV is a second-hand model 1950.
On the left, this special 2 CV without pressure is resting on its rubber stops like a DS some years later.

Above, a model from the serie.
Below, the 2 CV with servo-suspension lean toward the interior of the curve like a motorbike.
Servo-suspension tested on rollers.
Some meters of pipe under the seats
Left : The hydraulic reservoir.
Right : The valve that control the front-left jack.
Left : Jean Federspiel, electronician engineer, radio-TV long waves specialist. He thinked that frequencies issues of radio-TV are like those of car suspension.
Right : The pendulum under the dashboard that control all the system
Left : The reservoir
Right : The belt of the hydraulic pump.
The mechanical under the floor seem very complicated.
Today there is nobody to restore it.

It is a small part of the Alfa Romeo story that march when you watch the German serie TV "A case for two" (1981-2014) with the private detective Josef Matula interpreted by Claus Theo Gartner himself amateur of this make.
Giulia Nuova Super 1600 (1976) for the early episodes
No planned accident with the personal car of the actor !

Alfa fans are disappointed when appear the 155 in 1992. Made from a Fiat plateform (front wheels drive Fiat Tipo-Lancia Dedra), the new model with the clover exchange the famous four cylinder double OHC for a modern transversal Fiat motor 16 valves.
