The "Automobiles CitroĆ«n" manufacturing company was founded in 4 June 1919 byĀ
AndrƩ Citroƫn
. He built weapons for the French military duringĀ
World War I
. After the war he realized that unless he planned ahead he would have a modern factory without a product.Ā The decision to switch to automobile manufacturing was taken. In 1917 CitroĆ«n contacted the engineer,Ā
Jules Salomon
and asked him to produce an all-new design for a 10 HP car that would be better equipped, more robust and less costly to produce than any rival product at the time. The result was theĀ
Type A
, announced to the press in March 1919, just four months after the war. The first production Type A emerged from the factory at the end of May 1919 and in June it was exhibited at a show room at Number 42, on theĀ
Champs-ĆlysĆ©es
Ā inĀ
Paris
. This showĀ room is still in use today. ThisĀ
C42
Ā showroom is where the company organises exhibitions and shows its vehicles and concept cars. CitroĆ«n also used theĀ
Eiffel Tower
Ā as the world's largest advertising sign between 1925 to 1934, as recorded inĀ the
Guinness book of World Records
.
In 1934 the Traction Avant (French for front-wheel drive) was introduced It had three revolutionary features that are still in use today:Ā
a unitary body with no separate frame
, four wheelĀ
independent suspension
Ā andĀ
front-wheel drive
. During the second world war, CitroĆ«n researchers, includingĀ
Paul MagĆØs
, continued their work in secret, against the express orders of the Germans, and developed the concepts that were later brought to market in three remarkable vehicles ā a small car (2CV), a delivery van (Type H) and a large, swift family car (DS). TheĀ CitroĆ«n H-Type vans, introduced in 1947, are a series ofĀ
panel vans
Ā andĀ
light trucks
that are memorable for theirĀ
Industrial design
, using manyĀ
corrugated metal
Ā outer body panels, to save material, weight, and costs. The CitroĆ«n H-types were developed as simple, low-cost,Ā
front-wheel drive
Ā vans. AĀ total of 473,289 of their variants were produced in 34 years in factories in France and Belgium.
A year later CitroĆ«n unveiled theĀ
Citroƫn 2CV
Ā at theĀ
Paris Salon
Ā in 1948. The car became a bestseller, achieving the designer's aim of providing ruralĀ
French people
Ā with a motorized alternative to theĀ
horse
. It was unusually inexpensive to purchase and, with its small two cylinder engine, inexpensive to run as well. This car remained in production until 1990 and was a common sight on French roads until recently; 9 million 2CV variants were produced in the period 1948ā1990. 1955 saw the introduction of theĀ
DS
, the first full usage of CitroĆ«n'sĀ
hydropneumatic
Ā
self-levelling suspension
Ā system. The DS was also the first production car with modernĀ
disc brakes
. Production from 1956 to 1975 totalled almost 1.5 million cars. The streamlined car was remarkable for its era and had a remarkable sounding name ā in French it sounds the same asĀ
dƩesse
, which meansĀ
Goddess
. This car caused quite a stir at itās introduction being way ahead of itās time both technically and aesthetically.
The DS has power steering from the factory but those other wonderful Citrƶens did not. In our webshop you can find kits for most Citroƫns and if you have a car that is not listed please contact us
