Paris (France) Car
Produced by the Société Industrielle de Livry, this Atlas was launched at the 1949 Paris Auto Show. The show car was a minicar that seated two and had a 125 cc AMC engine. Production cars featured a 175 cc 8.5 hp unit and a top speed of 43 mph. The car was also referred to as the Coccinelle (Ladybird). The Sofravel French minicar of the same era was also referred to as the Atlas, which must have been confusing to consumers. The Livry parent company also produced the Kover and Le Piaf minicars.
