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.

1957 FACEL VEGA Type: FV3B Serial number: 58260 French registration 100 000 / 150 000 € The FV3, which went into production in November 1956, differs from its predecessor in that it features a new grille with a thinner central grille and enlarged side grilles with a median bar. The front end features large, overlapping headlamps without bezels. The 4.5-liter (277ci) Chrysler V8 engine develops 200 hp. In March 1957, the model was renamed FV3B. The appearance was similar, but the body was enlarged and slightly longer. It was based on the body of the "wide" FV3s, with dimensions reaching 4.59 m in length and 1.80 m in width. Engine displacement was increased to 4.9 liters (301ci) for 253 hp. Top speed was 203 km/h. Produced in just 92 examples, the FV3B is a rare luxury car. The model shown was delivered new to Mr. Jean Paul Elkann in Paris on 28/10/1957 under registration 3234 GL75. Jean Paul Elkann is the grandfather of John Elkann, president of Stellantis and Ferrari. Configured in black with a beige leather interior, it featured rudge wheels, automatic gearbox and power steering as optional extras. In 1992, it was acquired by Mr D, a Parisian enthusiast. He had the engine rebuilt in the early 90s at the Georges Morel workshops in Provins. In 2000, the car changed hands and became the property of Mr K, who had it restored by the Claude Chary workshops. The timeworn bodywork was completely removed and restored. The preserved chassis will be treated and repainted. The mechanics and running gear were also overhauled. It will then take part in various events, including the brand's 50th anniversary. This FV3 B was bought at auction by Osenat 19 years ago, by its current owner. It has been regularly maintained by its mechanic. The car is now in good overall condition.
