Tracford was a short lived French automobile manufacturing venture.
In 1933, Louis Carle, director of Ford (France) , founded Automobiles Tracford. An assembly plant was created in Gennevilliers of France (in a suburb of Paris) for producing front wheel drive cars under this name, in direct competition with Citroën 's highly successful Traction avant model that appeared just in 1934. The word is a portmanteau of Trac (referring to Traction avant and Ford.)
Automobiles Tracford collapsed within two years.
