Produced for 23 years, it is a legendary model that contributed to the fame of the brand with the double chevrons. It was driven by General de Gaulle as well as featured in *Pierrot le Fou* and by the “Traction Avant gang.” But its true purpose was to be a beautiful family car. It fulfilled this role exceptionally well; its comfort, reliability, and styling left a lasting impression on many generations. Today, the Traction Avant is considered an automotive icon, highly sought after by collectors and classic car enthusiasts worldwide. Provenance: Private collection, Oise.
