1900 De Dion-Bouton Vis-A-Vis 3.5 bhp, 402 cc single-cylinder engine, two-speed manual transmission with chain drive, suspension, and rear-wheel mechanical brakes. Wheelbase: 60 in. De Dion-Bouton, a pioneer automaker established in 1883 by the partnership of Count Albert de Dion, George Bouton, and Charles Trépardoux.
The trio produced their first steam-powered tricycle that year and their first gasoline car in 1889. By 1900, the firm was producing 1,500 cars and over 5,000 engines for other automakers. They also supplied powerplants to 150 other manufacturers, and their design was copied by many more. Their company was, in other words, the leader of early automaking in the world and a pioneer of designs that sold all over the globe. from www.RMAuctions.com
