BEARE, DAVID .

A Hotchkiss-a History. David Beare.

Montgomery: Stinkwheel Publishing, 2022 . 9780954736361. First edition. A very good large format paperback. 27.7cm x 21.0cm x 1.8cm. pp.iv./pp.208 . Illustrated card covers, edges lightly rubbed. Very clean throughout. Well illustrated with numerous pictures and advertisements. VG. ** Back Cover: "..The Hotchkiss car-manufacturing business started in 1903, when orders for arms were in decline and other French car manufacturers were aware of Hotchkiss’s skills at fine-tolerance machining, sub-contracting machining crankshafts and honing cylinders to Hotchkiss. Hotchkiss soon realised it could make an entire car itself and did so. The final vehicle built as a Hotchkiss was made in 1954, when a merger between Hotchkiss and Delahaye – both ailing car-makers – was agreed. Truck production at Hotchkiss continued until 1971, while making Jeeps under a Willys licence for the French army and Ferguson tractors for farmers proved to be far more profitable than making cars. Hotchkiss continued to make arms and military vehicles until 1971, when a takeover by Thomson-Houston and subsequent nationalisation brought about the final disappearance of the renowned Hotchkiss name.".
