Automobiles Rally of Colombes-sur-Seine, located just northwest of Paris, was founded in 1921 and remained in production for over a decade, ending in 1933 as a victim of the Great Depression. Engineer Eugène Affovard Asnière founded the company, and the vehicles his company produced were lightweight and agile, equipped with small-displacement engines. Initially, their cyclecars relied on Harley-Davidson V-twin engines, progressing to four-cylinder Ruby, C.I.M.E., Chapuis-Dornier, S.C.A.P., and Salmson engines.

In 1932 and 1933, the company competed in the Mille Miglia and took class victories in the Tour de France and Rallye Féminin Paris-Saint Raphaël.

An underslung Grand Sport model was introduced in 1926 at the Paris Saloon equipped with a supercharged 1,093 cc Chapuis-Dornier engine developing approximately 70 horsepower. Production was exclusive, and as many as sixteen examples were built.

The Rally ABC model was a versatile vehicle offered in 91- and 98-inch wheelbase sizes and available with three inline-four engine options of 1,093, 1,170, or 1,494 cc. Some of the engines were equipped with superchargers. The name 'ABC' was in reference to the word abaissée (lowered) for its underslung chassis. Production of the ABC began in 1927 and ended in 1930 when it was replaced by the Rally N, which used twin-cam Salmson S4 engines.

The final Rally model, introduced in 1932 at the Paris Motor Show, was the Rally R15 powered by the new 1,466cc Salmson S4-C engine. By 1933, the company was out of business due to the economic hardships brought on by the Great Depression.
