Citroën Traction Avant 7-11-15 - Storia ed evoluzione dal 1934 al 1957

Il libro propone nei primi capitoli una breve sintesi dei fatti da cui ha preso le mosse questo innovativo progetto e un'analisi sulle sue rivoluzionarie soluzioni tecniche. Lo studio analizza per ogni tipo, serie e versione della Traction, la configurazione estetica, quella dell'abitacolo e la gamma dei colori.

L'apparato iconografico, costituito in massima parte da immagini in bianco e nero rigorosamente d'epoca, accompagna tutta la trattazione che è corredata anche da disegni, schede e prospetti . Alcuni capitoli esplorano fugacemente altri campi del mondo Traction Avant, come quello degli accessori e degli eventi sportivi.

Traction-avant Citroën

The Citroën Traction Avant holds a special place among classic cars. With over 700.000 units produced over three decades, it defined multiple generations. From a revolutionary car of the 1930s to a symbol of the Resistance, an official vehicle of the Fifth Republic, and a beloved family car of the 1950s, it still evokes nostalgia and admiration.

This book features exclusive images taken specifically for this edition. It showcases models preserved in their original condition or faithfully restored. A detailed timeline helps enthusiasts with restoration questions, including color and material choices.

Artistic photographs by Rose Ayliffe and Léonard de Serres highlight the vehicle's design, colors, and intricate details. An introduction by Anne Bony places the Traction Avant's aesthetics in the context of its era's design.

La Traction Avant Citroën sous l'uniforme

Born in 1934, the legendary car designed by André Citroën would experience, due to the events that plunged the world into war five years later, a rich and astonishing military career. Thousands of them joined our armies during the Phoney War, then experienced the horrors of disaster.
The Traction then, much to its chagrin, changed sides and the Germans, who were very fond of it, would drive it all over Europe, from the Arctic Circle to distant Russia.

But, at the end of 1942, the Traction appeared again under our flags, this time victoriously engaged in the Tunisian campaign, with strange armoured versions.
Then came the liberation of France, the epic of the maquis, the white stars and the three letters F F I which flourished on the bodies. The "beauty of Javel" then became one of the symbols of the resurgent France.

A formidable visual epic made possible by the assembly, piece by piece, over decades, of an exceptional iconography: 375 illustrations including no fewer than 260 period photographs, almost all unpublished, and 28 profiles created especially for this work, presenting the authentic military colours and markings.
THE book awaited by die-hard fans of the Citroën Traction Avant and all fans of automotive and military history.

La Traction Avant Citroën sous l'uniforme (Volume 2)

The Citroën Traction Avant was the most produced car in France before 1940: more than 250 000 units traveled the roads of the country and the world at that time. It is therefore logical to see it, during the Second World War, accompanying armies and civilian populations on all fronts, in all regions, including the most remote.
The omnipresence of this car is undoubtedly also due to its performance: modern and safe, it is used by the French army, especially as a requisition car, and perhaps even more by the German army which uses it massively in all its intervention zones, and finally, by the resistance.

By supporting all the travel needs related to the conflict, it became a key player, from the pre-war period until the Liberation, then it responded to the new needs that appeared after 1945. We find it in everyday life, but also in the great moments of History. It is this reality spread over a dozen years around the conflict that we discover through this set of period photographs, most of which have never been published.

Toutes les Traction Avant ont une histoire - Les 11 L 1934-1942

Since 1994, Pascal Berthelot has listed more than 2 500 Traction "7", 11CV and 15CV that have survived to this day. In order to produce the technical part of this Volume 2, he analyzed the technical information collected on nearly 200 surviving Traction 7S and 11 Légères.

If technical developments take an important place, the short history of these cars constitutes the framework of the book: you will discover the 5 lives of a convertible exported to Denmark, a sedan buried under a barn... and forgotten for 50 years, a mysterious racing convertible, a sedan transformed into a commercial in 1943, a Hollywood convertible with an unusual look, and a convertible walled up for 40 years.
This book will also teach you to better identify and date an 11 Légère, and summarizes in an "ABC des Traction", the major developments that occurred between 1934 and 1942.
