dadou Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 Thank you, Patrick ! I did not imagine that this car was so popular outside of France ! I discovered that many "Citroën clubs" exist in North America , Argentina , Brazil , Australia....The production was not the same that today ones ..It was the car of the transition : before the war, and after the war !The owners are very sympatic and from all social positions.a car that evokes many childhood memories for numerous of us You are right, Patrick...

JPD Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 Bonjour Daniel,A very nice show, I am sure many people outside France know the "Traction Avant" which is the grand-mother of most of the actuals cars which use the Front-wheel-drive.It was not really a new idea, however, it was Citroen that really took such drivetrains into the mainstream. Rack-and-pinion steering followed in 1936, again a basic principle still followed today.I am sure that you'll receice many mails about this show.Great !
