which one? I didn't know about the 1906 version, but the later one
was bought out/merged with Renault in the early 1980s and was
bought out/merged with Chrysler in August, 1987. The latter was
mainly to get Jeep and resulted in a bribe payment of over $150M to
Renault to pay for engines never used in their POS Premier car that
we finished but could never sell.
