History

Jean-Marie Letourneur and Jean-Arthur Marchand founded the firm in 1905 at Neuilly-sur-Seine. By the 1930s it was making coachbuilt bodies for luxury chassis including Bugatti, Delage, Duesenberg, Hispano-Suiza, Rolls-Royce and Minerva, and in 1932 Delage commissioned it to develop a small series of new bodies for its D8 chassis. A subsidiary, Autobineau, built some bodies for the Delage range. The firm exhibited at the 1959 Paris Salon and, according to one source, collapsed in 1960 after the cabriolet version of the Renault Frégate was discontinued.
