The original model: a technical revolution
The Rosengart Super Traction was launched in 1938 in a booming French automotive market. This sedan adopted the revolutionary concept of front-wheel drive, inspired by the innovations of the time, while retaining the distinct identity of the Rosengart brand. Its 1.1-liter 4-cylinder engine developed respectable power for the time.
Featuring a monocoque body and independent front suspension, it offered remarkable driving comfort for its time. Its sleek lines and harmonious proportions made it one of the most attractive sedans on the French market, rivaling the productions of major national manufacturers.
Rosengart: the adventure of a visionary builder
Founded in 1928 by Lucien Rosengart , this French brand embodied the spirit of innovation of the interwar period. A former collaborator of André Citroën, Rosengart had developed a unique expertise in the production of compact and affordable vehicles, while incorporating the latest technical advances of his time.
The brand distinguished itself by its ability to offer modern automobiles at attractive prices, thereby democratizing access to mobility for the French middle classes. Rosengart French cars were renowned for their reliability and meticulous workmanship, qualities that persist in this model car reproduction.
A brand with a tragic destiny
Rosengart's story took a dramatic turn with the outbreak of World War II. Lucien Rosengart , of Jewish origin, was forced to sell his business under pressure from the occupying authorities. This industrial dispossession tragically illustrates the persecution suffered by many entrepreneurs during this dark period.
Despite the resumption of production after the war, the brand never regained its pre-1939 dynamism. Models like the Super Traction thus remain witnesses to a bygone era, when French innovation shone throughout the world. These vehicles embodied the hope and modernity of a booming industrial France.
Today, pre-war Rosengarts have become highly sought-after collector's items , especially the 1939 models, which represent the brand's technical apex. Their rarity on the used market makes them legendary automobiles, celebrated at concours d'élégance and vintage vehicle gatherings.
