Darracq  DARRACQ was a well-known car trademark founded in 1896. From France it conquered all Europe thanks to quality and speed records (world speed record of 198 km/h in 1905). In Italy, the first country conquered, DARRACQ manufactured the first ever Alfa Romeo cars. Then in Germany, second country conquered, the Opel brothers used DARRACQ to assemble their first Opel car. Thirdly, it expanded in the United Kingdom where the brand was even more popular than in France (remember the famous “Genevieve” DARRACQ car from the movies?). For years, DARRACQ was associated with the two other car brands Sunbeam and Talbot, until its disappearance in 1959. Because of its numerous links to famous car manufacturers and because of its popularity, DARRACQ can drive again on the world to success.

La Salle LaSalle was a car range from General Motors. From 1927 to 1940 it was sold as a companion brand of Cadillac. The two trademarks were linked by similarly-themed names, both being baptized after French explorers: respectively Antoine Laumet de La Mothe, sieur de Cadillac and René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle. Built by GM to its highest standards, the LaSalle soon emerged as a trend-setting car. The LaSalle was offered with a full-range of body styles, including Fisher and Fleetwood Metal Body-built custom designs. The LaSalle roadster could also be ordered in two-tone color combination, at a time when dark colors like black and navy blue were still the most familiar colors produced by manufacturers. LaSalle’s design even included a nod to the inspirational Hispano-Suiza, with the circled trademark “LaS” cast into the horizontal tie bar between the front lights. LaSalle is still a major label of the USA car history, with luxury values and with truly American magnificence. LaSalle is ready to be back on tracks again!
