Salmson S4 1949
General description :
The Salmson S4 is a mid-size executive-level car introduced as the Salmson S4 C by Société des Moteurs Salmson in Autumn 1932. ] It was the manufacturer's principal or sole model for the next twenty years. The star of the Salmson stand at the 31st Paris Motor Show in October 1937 should have the Salmson S4-E. The car's 4-cylinder 2312 cc power unit extended the S4 range up, into the 13 CV category. In fact, the car was placed at the far end of the stand without fanfare and without any accompanying publicity campaign, so that many visitors to the show will have missed it completely.The Salmson S4-61 replaced the S4 DA (see above this site) for 1938. Technically very little changed.

About Salmson
Salmson was a French engineering company known for producing automobiles, airplane engines, and pumps. The company, founded by Émile Salmson in 1890, initially focused on manufacturing steam-powered machinery and later shifted its attention to producing combustion engines.In the automotive realm, Salmson gained prominence primarily in the 1920s and 1930s for its production of high-quality, reliable, and technologically advanced cars. They were recognized for their innovative designs and engineering prowess. Salmson cars were renowned for their performance in motorsports, particularly in endurance racing events like the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
One of Salmson's notable achievements was the production of the Salmson 2A2 aircraft during World War I, which became one of the most successful French fighter planes of the era. The experience gained in producing aviation engines contributed to the development of their high-performance automotive engines.
However, despite their success and reputation for engineering excellence, Salmson faced financial difficulties, especially during economic downturns and the aftermath of World War II. The company eventually ceased its automobile production in the late 1950s.
Today, vintage Salmson cars are sought after by collectors and automotive enthusiasts due to their historical significance, engineering innovation, and unique design features.
