It's hard to believe that the Hotchkiss Grégoire, originally called the Grégoire R or Grégoire 2 Litres, dates back to 1947. It was based on design ideas that other brands did not put into practice until 20 or 50 years later. But it was probably a few decades too early, and above all it was too progressive and too expensive for the customers of the time. This article tells the story of the Grégoire 2 Litres and its production version Hotchkiss-Grégoire, as well as its predecessors and successors. Over 60 rare photos, some of which have not been published for decades or have never been published at all, show the model development and details, while the sparse sales literature takes a look at the commercial aspects.
In 1950, Fritz Ramseier and his company Carrosserie Worblaufen built a four-door convertible based on the Hotchkiss Anjou 20.50. The car has endured to this day and is a testament to Ramseier's design skills as well as the body store's craftsmanship. This article describes the elegant bodywork and the technical basis and shows the car in many pictures.
