The Citroen Traction Avant is an executive car produced by the French manufacturer Citroen from 1934 to 1957. About 760,000 units were produced. The Traction Avant pioneered mass production of three revolutionary features still in use today: a unitary body with no separate frame, four-wheel independent suspension, and front-wheel drive. The Citroen Traction Avant, introduced in 1934, was a groundbreaking French automobile renowned for its advanced engineering. It was one of the world's first mass-produced front-wheel-drive cars, offering improved handling, stability, and interior space. Its unitary body construction eliminated the traditional chassis, making it lighter and stronger. Powered by various inline-four engines, the Traction Avant combined performance with luxury, featuring independent suspension and hydraulic brakes. Widely used by civilians and the French Resistance during World War II, it became an icon of automotive innovation and style. Its sleek, aerodynamic design and technological advancements influenced car manufacturing for decades. © Copyright 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
