Charles Pierre Elie Montier[2] (28 June 1879 – June 1952) was a French racing driver and automotive engineer whose race entries included the inaugural 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Montier, with his father Elie and friend Gillet, built a steam car – the Montier & Gillet – which was exhibited in Paris in 1897. Montier went into the business of selling and servicing cars, becoming one of the two agents of the Ford Motor Company in France. After gaining experience as a racer and hillclimber, Montier entered the
1923 24 Hours of Le Mans, alongside Albert Ouriou, in a Ford Model T-derived, but heavily modified, "Montier Special". Montier and Ouriou finished the race in 14th place of 33 starters; they also entered but did not place in the 1924 and 1925 events.
Montier and his son Ferdinand raced Montier Specials in the Coupe de la Commission Sportive event, a support race to the 1927 French Grand Prix before turning their attention to Grand Prix racing proper. Charles entered the Belgian Grand Prix on three occasions, his 1931 entry earning him 20th place in the first European Championship. Montier's last recorded Grand Prix entry, and finish, was the 1935 Lorraine Grand Prix; he was 56 years old at the time.
