Cars were available with the Henriod rotary valve system; another version featuring six cylinders was also offered.
Post-World War I, the four was the only model offered, though it was rebored to 3,563 cc (217.4 cu in).
The name ALDA was invented by the readers of the magazine l'Auto, an acronym for "Ah - La Délicieuse Automobile!".
