About the marque

Founded: 1908 – 1910
Headquarters: Lyon, France

Construction d’Automobiles Ageron et Cie began building cars in Lyon in 1908 under the Ageron name, also written Agéron. Its catalog covered single- and twin-cylinder vehicles in the 6–12 CV range and the named four-cylinder 10/12 CV. The latter used chain final drive and a compressed-air starting system, an unusual alternative to hand cranking in the brass era. Ageron's manufacturing life was brief: production ended in 1910, with no later model family documented.
