The passenger car to be produced, exhibited on the Berliet stand with the 15th Paris Motor Demonstrate in October 1919, was the 3296cc (15HP/CV) "Torpedo" bodied "Berliet Sort VB" of modern visual appeal. Marius Berliet was it's unlikely that any to miss a tip: rather than devote time and engineering talent to creating a new car for the revolutionary decade, he obtained and replicated an American Dodge. The Dodge was once robust, and the Berliet content was well received throughout March 1919 when that had its first general public outing, locally, at the Lyon Business Fair. The headlights were mounted unusually high as well as the simple disc wheels were large, giving the car a pleasing "no nonsense" look. Particularly attractive was the expense of just 11, 800 francs in March 1919.

Survival was in hesitation, and Berliet was used in judicial administration in 1921. Marius Berliet himself had held 88% with the share capital, but was unable in order to all the company's creditors and the firm therefore fell to the hands of the financial institutions. Berliet was nevertheless capable of retain operational control.
