Citroen Traction The Numbers

Citroën Traction Avant - An In-Depth History

The Citroën Traction Avant, with its impressive 23-year production history, has been described in countless books over the years. Yet this book brings a huge amount of new and previously unknown information. The story of the cars is told through their four primary numbers: serial number, fabrication number, body number and engine number. Most of the information comes directly from the ultimate and unique source - the old factory registers, where every single car that ever left the Citroën factory on Quai de Javel in Paris is documented.

In this book you will find detailed information on all Traction models over the years, including factory codes, production series and much more. The new information makes it possible to identify any Traction with far greater precision, as the factory number is now the primary reference rather than the serial number. In addition, the book presents new insights into the evolution of the models and their interrelationships.

This fact book is a significant addition to all previously published material and a natural complement to the many great Citroën books that already adorn every enthusiast's bookshelf.
