Citroën Traction Avant (France, 1934-1957)

Citroën introduced the very innovative and ‘avant-garde’ model Traction Avant in 1934 and kept producing it during the following 23 years. The car was even named after its front-wheel drive system, as “Traction Avant” is French for “front-wheel drive”.
When Citroën withdrew the Traction Avant from the markets, in 1957, around 760 thousand units had been built.
