This is the only Hotchkiss Gregoire ever exported to the United States. It was shipped from France in 1953, for the Mack Corporation in New York.

We found this car in Colorado; it had covered less than 7,000 miles, but was almost beyond repair. It had been parked under a tree for 40 years, and when the tree finally fell it landed on top of the car. The windshield was broken and the roof was concave, but the aluminum was in good enough condition to be straightened and welded.

The Hotchkiss Gregoire was an advanced car in the very early 1950s, and should not be driven by someone who likes the feeling of vintage machinery. Despite its age, it drives like a modern car.
