ASS (car)

ASS (car)

The somewhat unfortunately scored ASS was a French automobile produced from 1919 to 1920. Advertised as "L'automobile pour tous", the car was powered by a 12hp two-stroke Thomas engine. Plans for mass production went unrealized. It may have been named after "ass" in its British sense of "donkey" as a beast of burden."'
