1919 CITROËN TYPE A Serial number: 5427 Engine number: 12420 French registration Rare Type A, the first Citroën Only known Boulangère bodywork on short chassis Fully restored to a high standard In the aftermath of the First World War, André Citroën embarked on a career in the automobile industry, with one idea in mind: to make this new means of locomotion accessible to as many people as possible. He wanted to democratize the automobile! He therefore launched into mass production, in order to control and negotiate costs. To put this idea into practice, he designed a small, popular car. Engineer Jules Salomon was the designer, and the result was a car that was simple to build, operate and maintain, in response to Henri Ford's Ford T. The short-chassis Boulangère version of the Type A exudes elegance and, the cornerstone of the emerging automaker, is equipped with a 1,327 cm3 side-mounted four-cylinder engine developing 18 bhp. The car was a great success, enabling Citroën to develop it into the B2 and its many successes. The Citroën presented here is the only Boulangère short-chassis version we know of. It could therefore be a unique car. It has benefited from a remarkable complete restoration and is a pure pleasure for the eyes. Its electric blue, beige hood and black interior dialogue perfectly together. One thing's for sure, you won't go unnoticed behind the wheel. Acquired by our collectors in 2021, the car immediately became part of their museum collection. Having been out of action for many years, it's time to get back on the road. 1919 CITROËN TYPE A Serial number : 5427 Engine number: 12420 French registration Rare Type A, the first Citroën Only known Boulangère bodywork on a short chassis Fully restored to a high standard In the aftermath of the First World War, André Citroën launched the car industry with one idea in mind: to make this new means of locomotion accessible to as many people as possible.
