Darmont

Darmont was a French automobile manufacturer that gained prominence in the early 20th century, particularly known for producing three-wheeled cyclecars. Founded by Robert Darmont in 1921, the company initially began by importing and assembling British Morgan three-wheelers before transitioning to producing its own versions under license. Darmont cars were characterized by their lightweight design, affordability, and sporty performance, which appealed to enthusiasts looking for an economical yet exciting driving experience. The brand’s most popular models, like the Darmont Special and Darmont Étoile de France, were widely appreciated for their agility and distinctive appearance. Despite their early success, Darmont struggled to compete with the rise of more conventional four-wheeled vehicles and eventually ceased operations in the late 1930s. Today, Darmont remains a cherished name among vintage car collectors and aficionados of early automotive innovation.
