| The 8 was launched at the 1932 Paris Salon and was built until 1935. At the end of 1932, chevrons were added to the grille. Available in a variety of body styles, in 1934, it was restyled with an inclined radiator grill and curved front bumpers when it was redesignated 8 NH (Nouvel Habillage or 'New Clothes').
