The passenger car for being produced, exhibited on the Berliet stand on the 15th Paris Motor Present in October 1919, was the 3296cc (15HP/CV) "Torpedo" bodied "Berliet Kind VB" of modern look. Marius Berliet was not merely one to miss a trick: rather than devote moment and engineering talent to possessing a new car for the modern decade, he obtained and ripped an American Dodge. The Dodge was notoriously robust, and the Berliet replicate was well received inside March 1919 when that had its first open 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 an enjoyable "no nonsense" look. Particularly attractive was the buying price of just 11, 800 francs in October 1919. Unfortunately, however, the Berliet engineers failed to make sure that the steel used in the car's construction was of the same quality as the North american steel used for your Dodge, and this resulted in series problems to the early customers of this "Berliet Type VB" and serious reputational damage to the company.

The factory was set up to make the "Berliet Type VB" at the rate of 100 cars on a daily basis which would have been recently an ambitious target below any circumstances. The rapid drop-off widely used for what at this stage was the manufacturer's solely passenger car model that followed the high quality issues plunged the organization into financial difficulties, with losses of 55 million francs recorded in one year. Survival was in question, and Berliet was slipped into judicial administration in 1921. Marius Berliet himself had held 88% on the share capital, but was unable to settle all the company's creditors and also the firm therefore fell into the hands of the financial institutions. Berliet was nevertheless competent to retain operational control. During the ensuring decade, supported by a sustained recovery popular that in turn reflected a good model strategy after 1922, Berliet was able in order to his debtors and, in 1929, to regain financial control above the business from the banks.
