fifties Citroen Traction Avant Berline on the move


Citroen Traction Avant was the world's most advanced family car at its launch in 1934, and in the course of its 23-year life it became a national emblem for the French. Not only did it popularise front-wheel drive and chassis-less monocoque construction, but it also combined for the first time on one car such modern features as an overhead valve engine, all-round torsion-bar suspension, hydraulic brakes and rack-and-pinion steering.
