Paris, France

Société l'Auto Pratique manufactured automobiles in Paris only during 1912 and 1913. Its sole documented model was a light cyclecar with a front-mounted single-cylinder engine rated at 5 hp. In contrast to the belts and chains commonly chosen for inexpensive cyclecars, Auto Pratique transmitted power to the rear axle through a propeller shaft. No separate body, displacement or model-name sequence is established in surviving encyclopedic accounts, and the company disappeared after this single short-lived design.
