André Citroën's brand has always been known in Europe as a populist brand, always making it a point of honour not to copy its competitors and to favour innovation. The "Traction" is the first real example of these mechanical innovations that revolutionised the daily life of French drivers. It may make you smile nowadays, but offering a mass-produced, accessible car with the particularity of having the front wheels, and not the rear, driven was revolutionary at the time. It was the flexibility, versatility and handling rather than the sportiness that made this car so interesting. In addition, most traction cars had a monocoque structure, hydraulic brakes and independent suspension. The traction car was produced from 1934 to 1957, and came in many generations, often with radically different designs.
Our example is in superb condition. The cabriolet is of a rare elegance, with a blue dress, in contrast with its beige canvas top. The beige upholstery is in perfect condition. The chrome and the wheels matching the paint are also sublime. The proposed model is indeed an authentic Traction cabriolet. It is ready for the road. All the on-board instrumentation is functional. The beautiful spider is just waiting to be occupied. Nice rides in perspective for this summer.
