Lot no. 81
1937 CITROËN TRACTION FAUX CABRIOLET 7C
Série 201662
Moteur ID / AG 3071
Carte grise française
Dans les années 30 la grande majorité des constructeurs automobiles proposent différentes carrosseries sur un ensemble châssis-moteur qui reste le même. Le client avait donc le choix entre coupé, berline, cabriolet et coupé. Citroën déclinera donc son modèle phare, la traction, de la même manière.
Concernant la version coupé, c’est le styliste Flaminio Bertoni qui sculptera ses lignes, et à l’évidence, c’est le coup de crayon de celui-ci qui fait tout son charme.
A partir du pare-brise, l’habitacle se compose d’un petit cockpit à l’allure très bulbeuse dont la beauté du dessin réside dans le rappel du galbe de l’arrière de la voiture à la forme de la custode. Fait amusant, Citroën insistait sur le fait que le speeder pouvait servir à la fois de coffre à bagage et de places assises. Il était donc possible de se retrouver à 6 dans ce coupé, 2 places à l’avant, 2 place à l’arrière avec l’option strapontin et 2 places dans le speeder.
Pour un collectionneur de traction, acquérir un Faux-cabriolet d’avant 1940 est un privilège. Celui que nous présentons est de de teinte noire avec sellerie noire, la voiture se présente aujourd’hui dans un bel état, la restauration montrant une belle patine. Rappelons que le faux-cabriolet correspond à l’une des versions les plus rares de la célèbre Citroën puisque, fabriqué jusqu’à l’automne 1938, sa production n’a pas dépassé 700 exemplaires. C’est une voiture qui a sa place dans les concours d’élégance, aux côtés des roadsters.

French registration
In the 1930s, the vast majority of car manufacturers offered different body styles on a chassis-engine combination that remained the same. The customer had the choice between coupé, saloon, cabriolet and coupé. Citroën will therefore offer its flagship model, the traction, in the same way.
For the coupé version, it was the stylist Flaminio Bertoni who sculpted its lines, and it is evident that it is his pencil stroke that gives it its charm.
From the windscreen upwards, the interior consists of a small cockpit with a very bulbous appearance, the beauty of whose design lies in the reminder of the curve of the rear of the car in the shape of the rear window. Funnily enough, Citroën insisted that the speeder could be used as both a luggage compartment and a seating area. It was therefore possible to seat 6 people in this coupé, 2 in the front, 2 in the rear with the folding seat option and 2 in the speeder.
For a collector of traction, acquiring a pre-1940 Faux-cabriolet is a privilege. The one we are presenting is black with black upholstery, the car is presented today in a beautiful condition, the restoration showing a nice patina. Let's remember that the faux-cabriolet is one of the rarest versions of the famous Citroën since, manufactured until the autumn of 1938, its production did not exceed 700 examples. It is a car that has its place in the concours d'élégance, alongside the roadsters.
