The vehicles were first presented in 1906 at the Paris Motor Show . The brand name was Niclausse . Automobile production ended in 1914 due to the First World War . In 1924 the company premises covered 30 acres , approximately 121,380 m². This was tripling from 1914. It is not known when the company was dissolved.

vehicles

Only models with four-cylinder engines were offered . A special feature was the T-head engine on the large models. The first model was the 30/40 CV . The brand name was Niclausse . The engine had 6330 cc engine capacity . This model was further developed in 1908 to the 35/50 CV . The brand name was Niclausse . In 1909 the smaller models 12/16 CV with 2437 cm³ displacement and 20/30 CV with 4082 cm³ displacement appeared. Among other things, there were the body styles Phaëton and Landaulet .

The bonnet with the round brass radiator was vaguely reminiscent of a locomotive. The logo showed a Gallic rooster standing on a steering wheel.

At least two Niclauses have survived, both with the large T-head engine. Both are in remarkable original condition. The Type D from 1908 has only the second owner in its long history.
