Marius Berliet was not one to miss a key: rather than devote moment and engineering talent to making a new car for the brand new decade, he obtained and duplicated an American Dodge. The Dodge was famously robust, and the Berliet backup was well received with March 1919 when that had its first open public outing, locally, at the Lyon Industry Fair. The headlights were mounted unusually high plus the simple disc wheels were large, giving the car a nice "no nonsense" look. Particularly attractive was the cost of just 11, 800 francs in July 1919.
