[1] A few months after his departure from the United States Motor Company in 1913, Benjamin Briscoe established a plant at Billancourt, France to design and manufacture the first automobile in France built by American methods.
The business was called Briscoe Freres; Billancourt was the home of Renault.
In 1915, Briscoe offered what he called "The First French Car at an American Price."
It featured a single headlamp in the front, faired into the radiator shell.
The company also produced the Argo, the Hackett, and the Lorraine.
