Alma (French automobile)

Alma was a small French automobile manufacturer that operated in Courbevoie, Seine, from 1926 to 1929.[1][2] The marque is remembered for a compact six-cylinder model known as the Alma Six (sometimes styled Alma6), engineered by the aeronautical engineer Henri Vaslin.[1]

History

Établissements Alma was established in 1926 at Courbevoie with the intention of offering a refined small car using a proprietary engine rather than a bought-in power unit.[2] Production remained very limited and ended by 1929 amid the contraction of France’s niche-marque sector.[3]

Models

A two-seat coupé/voiturette powered by a proprietary inline six of about 1.64 L (≈1640–1642 cc).[1][2]
