1939 Citroën Traction 7C Cabriolet 4-door. Chassis n°217334 Engine FN03868 Carte Grise Collection Mention CABR on the Carte Grise One of the last produced Indissociable from the history of the Citroën brand, the Traction avant paved the way for the modern automobile with its many technological innovations, including the famous universal joint system. When it came out in 1934, it was 20 years ahead of the competition. From 1934 to 1957, it delighted several generations of motorists. Today, the Traction Avant Citroën 7, 11 and 15 are models in a class of their own in the world of classic cars. Long shunned, they now play a vital role in the success of events around the world. Whether sedan, commercial, family, convertible, coupé, wide, light, original or restored to perfection, the Traction will always give you the same pleasure. This 1939 Traction 7C-9 is a rare pre-war example. It was delivered on November 22, 1939 to the Citroën dealership in Gisors, France. The Browns enjoyed little use of the car, which remained hidden in the barn during the war. In June 1944, they were able to use their Traction again in liberated Normandy. They kept it until the end of 1951. The car was then acquired by the Rubin family. In 1963, the car was sold to the Lilienthal family, who eventually abandoned it. In 1967, the car was rescued from the scrap heap by Michel Barbaud, who restored it and transformed it into a unique convertible. The body was reinforced and a removable roll-bar created. The transformation, carried out by the Neau industrial body shop in Gisors, was approved, and the car still bears the CABR mark on its registration document. In 2011, after 44 years of ownership, Michel Barbaud decided to part with his car. He sold it to Michel B., who had the engine rebuilt, before handing it over to our collector in 2017. Since its acquisition, he has personalized it to his taste, having the upholstery redone. It has been regularly maintained. Today, although the car starts up, it deserves an overhaul following its prolonged stoppage in the collectors' museum. 1939 Citroën Traction 7C Cabriolet 4 doors.
