Chernard & Walcker was a French automaker founded in 1900, primarily known for producing innovative light automobiles. The company gained recognition in the early 20th century, notably winning the first-ever Le Mans 24 Hours race in 1923 with their 3.0L Sport model. By the late 1920s, Chernard & Walcker was a respected brand, offering luxury and touring vehicles like the Type P11. This cabriolet was aimed at affluent buyers seeking a refined yet practical open-top vehicle. However, the company struggled financially during the 1930s, eventually becoming part of Berliet in the post-war period. Surviving examples of Chernard & Walcker cars are increasingly rare, making this model a desirable collector’s piece.
