Chenard & Walcker was an iconic French automobile brand, founded in 1899 by Ernest Chenard and Henry Walcker. Under the leadership of engineer Lucien Chenard around 1922, it became the fourth-largest French manufacturer in terms of volume. In 1923, the brand won the inaugural edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, marking the beginning of a series of successes in motor racing. In addition to its sporting achievements, Chenard & Walcker thrived with its luxurious sports and touring cars. From 1931 onwards, the company diversified its production by also manufacturing trucks.

In 1936, the company was integrated into the Société des usines Chausson, ceasing its automobile production in 1940. After World War II, it shifted towards the manufacturing of trucks and utility vehicles, marketed under the Peugeot brand until 1965. Although the company legally persisted until 1992 through Chausson, which produced utilities for Citroën, Peugeot, and Renault.

A notable example of Chenard & Walcker's legacy is exemplified by a unique car from 1938, specially commissioned by Mr. COURT-PICON, then sub-prefect of Bône in French Algeria and son-in-law of the inventor of Amer PICON. This car, based on a Tank Y8 chassis equipped with a CITROËN Traction-Avant engine, was crafted by a coachbuilder from the south of France. Unfortunately, the outbreak of war prevented its completion, leaving it unfinished as a prototype.

After being abandoned for about 25 years, this exceptional car was rescued in 1997 and passionately restored until 2002 by an enthusiast. Today, this unique specimen, steeped in history and having admirably withstood the test of time, is documented by an expertise report established in 2017.
