The De Dion-Bouton Type LA was one of the two models listed when the company reopened its factory in 1927 after it had been closed for much of the year. It had a 1,982 cc four-cylinder overhead-valve engine with aluminium pistons. The other model, the Type LB, carried a 2,496 cc straight-eight, enlarged to 3 litres in 1930, and was very expensive, so sales were few. The company had stagnated since World War I, and a rumoured takeover by Peugeot or Mercedes did not materialize. Passenger car production ended in 1932, and small numbers of commercial vehicles were made until 1950.
