Colombe Cyclecars

Automobiles Colombe were manufactured by G. Doue, O. Durand & Co. of Rue des Gros Grès, Colombes, Seine.

They initially built a conventional light automobile in 1920, followed by a three-wheeler with a metal body and a canvas roof, powered by a 345cc engine. It did very well in competition, breaking world records in its class at Arpajon in 1923.

The last of these was built in 1925, when the firm ceased production.
