- the bumpers and mirrors;
- the windscreen frame;
- the chrome hubcaps on the rims;
- the radiator grille adorned with chevrons and the headlight towers;
- the steering wheel, dashboard and seats inside the vehicle;
This small car retro is ideal for personalising the décor of an electric train track. It will work perfectly with figurines and models referencing the 1930s, the Second World War or the beginning of the Trente Glorieuses.
Focus on the Citroën Traction 11
The Citroën Traction was the first French car to feature front-wheel drive. In the 1930s, most cars were equipped with a rear-wheel drive engine. This innovative transmission significantly improved roadholding. In fact, the brand with the chevrons used this advertising slogan: "La Citroën Traction avant dompte la force centrifuge"
.
This veritable monument to the French car industry was produced from 1934 to 1957. Production was interrupted during the Second World War, but resumed in 1945. It became a best-seller, selling 759,111 units in all versions. In 1952, Citroën gave the Traction a facelift by fitting it with indicators and a new dashboard.
