1953 Citroen Traction Avant 11B

The vehicle is a rare 1953 Citroen Traction Avant 11B, originally produced in France and imported into the United States some decades ago. This four-door sedan stands out for its distinctive pre-war design with rounded shapes and a unique position of the front doors which open suicide-style towards the rear of these early models. Hailing from an era when driving was an adventure, this classic auto is powered by a 1.9-liter inline-four engine connected to a three-speed manual transaxle. Known for its advanced suspension design compared to contemporaries, it offers a somewhat smoother ride despite being almost seven decades old. The vehicle retains a certain vintage charm with its original blue repaint and black fender hues dating back to the 1990s. It boasts a reupholstered interior dressed in black vinyl seat covers that speak of comfort over style, and was previously reported to have served as a taxi in Spain before its journey to America.
