ROSENGART / FRANCE

 ROSENGART / FRANCE  ( 1928 - 1955 )

Lucien Rosengart started his car production in 1928 with a licence of the famous AUSTIN Seven, a small four cylinder car.  In 1933 he bought a licence  of the German ADLER, a front-drive car.
Later the ROSENGART Super traction was built with a CITROEN engine.
After WWII  Mr. Rosengart  offered a car with a small flat twin engine called ARIETTE.
But he failed to compete with PEUGEOT, RENAULT and PANHARD.
The factory was closed in 1955.

The best and most expensive ROSENGART automobile was the second generation of the Supertraction:

ROSENGART SUPERTRACTION ( seen in Paris in 2023)

The SUPERTRACTION had an illuminated hood emblem made of plastic. This was a faulty design because the bulb melted the plastic due to the heat.:

the front emblem made of plastic is always melted due to the heat from the light

In 1928, ROSENGART, DELAHAYE and CHENARD & WALCKER jointly published an advertisement (probably to save costs) on which both company logos appeared:

 

 Rosengart not only built automobiles, but also two-wheelers and much more. Here is an advertisement from 1929 showing such a two-wheeler:

 

 

As far as I know, this Rosengart engine emblem was only painted.
