Some legendary car brands would be 100 years old this year if they hadn't disappeared
03/29/2019
Once again, new or reborn car brands were celebrated in Geneva. And Bentleycelebrated its 100th birthday. Suddenly the historian can think of other car brands that could also have celebrated 100 years in 2019, had they survived?
Without much searching, we have found eight brands that were founded in 1919.
Want some examples? There is Ansaldo. Or Farman. Or Salmson.
Leyator Armstrong-Siddeleywere also founded in 1919. Tatraor Lea Francisare probably even better known, but also Voisin.
You can find short articles on all these brands in the "disappeared brands" channel, but of course also on a few hundred brands that would not happen to be celebrating their 100th birthday this year.
P.S. It's a shame that the birthdays of these stamps are not also celebrated, including Alvis . But they are still remembered on a broader scale, as the exhibits at the OTM Fribourgshowed .
