The 1955 Citroën Traction Avant 11 B is a true landmark in automotive history, renowned as one of the first mass-produced front-wheel-drive cars with a monocoque chassis. With its elegant styling, innovative engineering, and smooth ride quality, the Traction Avant quickly became a symbol of French motoring excellence in the pre- and post-war decades.
This example, chassis number 417599, was first registered in 1955 and remains in very good overall condition. While the car has not been started for the past three years, it presents a solid base for light recommissioning or continued preservation. Its distinctive presence, advanced design for its time, and historical significance make it a desirable classic for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
Detailed walkaround videos are available via mobile, and worldwide transport can be arranged. This vehicle is being sold by a company that primarily operates in the armored vehicle sector; it was acquired as part of a broader business transaction and is now being offered for sale as it falls outside the company’s core focus.
