Alba (1913 automobile)
The Alba was a French automobile which lasted, according to David Burgess Wise "for seven years of constant mediocrity" (from 1913 to 1920). The car had three engines; one was an ohv 8 horsepower (6 kW) of 1172 cc, one was a 10 hp (7.5 kW) of 2001 cc, and one was a version of the same with overhead valves instead of side-valves; the latter was offered near the end of production. Albas were also fitted with front-wheel brakes, in advance of their time. In 1924, the now-defunct company entered for Le Mans, but without success.
