Belgian Sidecars
Belgian Sidecars
These were manufactured by Delaunay of 62, rue Rochechouarl, Paris.
A translation of an article from 1936 reads:
Chez Belgian. – The brand built by Delaunay, the Saroléa representative, appeared for 1936 with a series of welcome improvements. Already well known to our readers, the Belgian is the most distinctive type of sidecar which, as has been famously said, glides on the road: it is, in effect, squat, lowered as much as possible, and the chassis itself, to achieve a very low center of gravity, was designed to pass over an arc-shaped body. Also noteworthy is the very wide fairing and the hemispherical front line, thus giving the passenger maximum possible comfort.
Caption: CHEZ BELGIAN. - Very low chassis, very wide front end forming a hemispherical shape.
F. TOUTIN of Clichy advertised Belgian sidecars in 1936.
N.B. There is no indication of a relationship with the famed automotive brand Delaunay.
