The Sizaire Frères 11CV, which went into production in 1923, had independent suspension on all four of its wheels; Cappiello deftly illustrates that the vehicle's "suspension . . . makes it independent of the road." Despite this exceptional promotion, the company went out of business in 1929, having produced a total of only 1150 cars. rare. We could find no other copies at auction. Cappiello / Rennert 455.
