The passenger car for being produced, exhibited on the Berliet stand on the 15th Paris Motor Indicate in October 1919, was the 3296cc (15HP/CV) "Torpedo" bodied "Berliet Variety VB" of modern physical appearance. Marius Berliet was not one to miss a tip: rather than devote period and engineering talent to creating a new car for the new decade, he obtained and replicated an American Dodge. The Dodge was notoriously robust, and the Berliet copy was well received within March 1919 when the item had its first general public outing, locally, at the Lyon Deal Fair. The headlights were mounted unusually high and the simple disc wheels had been large, giving the car a nice "no nonsense" look.

Marius Berliet himself had held 88% of the share capital, but was unable to pay off all the company's creditors and the firm therefore fell in the hands of the finance institutions. Berliet was nevertheless competent to retain operational control.
