1939 Citro\u00ebn Traction 15-Six<\/h1>\n
\n

At the 1934 Paris Motor Show, a full range was on display on the CITRO\u00cbN stand, already including a number of body style variants, including the 11 and the 6-cylinder 15, the future queen of the highway. The 22 with its 8-cylinder engine was also present.<\/span><\/p>\n

Only three examples of the 15-Six cabriolet were built, the first being for the widow of Pierre Michelin, Chairman and Managing Director of Citro\u00ebn. Two other examples of this version were built after the second world war.<\/p>\n
