In the 1930s, the vast majority of car manufacturers offered different body styles on a chassis-engine combination that remained the same. The customer had the choice between coupé, saloon, cabriolet and coupé. Citroën will therefore offer its flagship model, the traction, in the same way.
For the coupé version, it was the stylist Flaminio Bertoni who sculpted its lines, and it is evident that it is his pencil stroke that gives it its charm.
From the windscreen upwards, the interior consists of a small cockpit with a very bulbous appearance, the beauty of whose design lies in the reminder of the curve of the rear of the car in the shape of the rear window. Funnily enough, Citroën insisted that the speeder could be used as both a luggage compartment and a seating area. It was therefore possible to seat 6 people in this coupé, 2 in the front, 2 in the rear with the folding seat option and 2 in the speeder.
For a collector of traction, acquiring a pre-1940 Faux-cabriolet is a privilege. The one we are presenting is black with black upholstery, the car is presented today in a beautiful condition, the restoration showing a nice patina. Let's remember that the faux-cabriolet is one of the rarest versions of the famous Citroën since, manufactured until the autumn of 1938, its production did not exceed 700 examples. It is a car that has its place in the concours d'élégance, alongside the roadsters.
