{"product_id":"traction-avant-coupe-cabriolet-decouvrable","title":"Traction Avant - Coupé, Cabriolet, Découvrable","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAmong the greatest automotive legends, the two-door Citroën Traction Avant, convertibles, and coupes (known as roadsters and faux-cabriolets at the time) hold a special place. Indeed, possessing an intense and enigmatic—but above all, absolutely undiminished—charm, this undeniably attractive car proudly parades alongside much more luxurious or powerful vehicles. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEven in an era when a Traction 11 CV could be bought for next to nothing, the roadster invariably commanded respect. Its image and harmonious lines remain associated with countless black and white smiles displayed on French and European coastlines, with concours d'élégance, and with carefree getaways of the late 1930s. This book approaches the phenomenon chronologically, through four key periods in its history: the time of production, the time of oblivion, then the renaissance, and finally the consecration it enjoys today among enthusiastic collectors. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA reference work, this book provides previously unpublished production figures and precise restoration details, while also offering a glimpse into the world of replicas. It reviews all the variants of the 7 and 11 versions, including the 15 convertible and the mysterious 22. Models produced or sold abroad are also featured. A full chapter is devoted to derivatives and special body styles. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOlivier de Serres knows his subject inside and out, drawing on years of experience both in design offices and workshops.
