ROCHET - SCHNEIDER / FR

ROCHET - SCHNEIDER / LYON / FRANCE   ( 1894 - 1932)

These automobiles from the French company of Lyon ( 1894 - 1932) built an enviable reputation for quality and speed before WW I. The larger vintage cars are both handsome and well built. Rochet - Schneider also built trucks. Commercial vehicles were made until 1951.
Here you see my favorite Rochet Schneider emblem, a quite rare enameled emblem. Mostly you find only a script with the two letters RS on the radiator.
