1939 Citroën Traction Avant Cabrio

The Citroën Traction Avant was an automobile produced by the French manufacturer Citroën and was quite a revolution. About 760,000 units were manufactured from 1934 to 1957.
The Traction Avant was the first front wheel drive (= ‘traction avant’ in French) car in large scale production.
Cord had built front wheel drive vehicles a few years earlier in limited quantities at high prices.
In addition to the 4-door body, the car was also produced as a 2-door coupé with a rumble seat (strapontins), as a convertible (cabriolet, cabrio) and as an extended length model, the ‘Familiale’ with three rows of seats.

De Citroën Traction Avant is een auto, geproduceerd door de Franse fabrikant Citroën en was destijds een revolutie in de autowereld. Ongeveer 760.000 stuks werden vervaardigd van 1934 tot 1957.
De Traction Avant was de eerste voorwielaangedreven (= "Traction Avant" in het Frans) auto in een grootschalige productie. Het Amerikaanse merk Cord bouwde een paar jaar eerder al voorwielaangedreven auto’s, maar in beperkte aantallen en tegen hoge prijzen.
Naast de standaard 4-deurs carrosserie werd de auto ook geleverd als een 2-deurs coupe met een Rumble stoel (strapontins), als een cabriolet en een verlengde versie, de 'Familiale' met drie rijen zitplaatsen.
