The Type AC 4 (above) was launched in 1928 in the Paris Salon as was the six cylinder AC 6 (right) both of which shared similar styling, albeit that the AC 6 had a longer bonnet than its four cylinder sibling.

The AC 4 was available in a variety of body styles including Berline Luxe, Conduite Interieure Luxe, Familiale Luxe, 2 & 4 seat Cabriolet Decapotable, 2 & 4 seat Faux Cabriolet, Torpédos and Taxi. The AC 6 was also available as a Coupé de Ville.
