History

Achille Vanvooren began building carriage and car bodies at Courbevoie in 1910, with a showroom at 33 Rue Marbeuf in Paris. In 1919 his technical director and son-in-law Marius Joseph Dasté took over the leading role and the firm traded as Dasté & Vanvooren. Dasté left in 1932 to run Hispano-Suiza's automobile branch. Production paused during the war, resumed in 1947 at a reduced rate, and ended at Courbevoie in 1950.
