La Citroën CX de mon père

Launched in 1974 in a challenging period, the Citroën CX was introduced as the brand faced financial difficulties and came under Peugeot's control. The effects of the first oil crisis further complicated the launch of this large sedan. Nevertheless, until 1989, the CX became Citroën's flagship model, representing the elegance of French high-end automobiles.

Offered in multiple versions, from the Diesel sedan to the luxurious Prestige and the sporty GTI and GTI Turbo, it quickly gained a special place among French drivers. More than forty years after its debut, it has become a cherished collector's model, alongside the Traction and the DS.

This richly illustrated book traces the history and development of the Citroën CX from 1974 to 1989. Part of the "La voiture de mon père" series, it serves as both a reference for owners and a guide to authenticity. It provides detailed insights into the technology, variants, modifications, and special editions. Includes 200 rare period photographs.
