1955 Citroen 11 CV BL *
Citroen launched this state-of-the-art automobile in 1934, featuring a self-supporting body, front-wheel drive, overhead valve engine and torsion rod suspension. It earned the nickname “speedster car” due to its great power with outstanding road handling. The 11 CV, named after the French “control hp”, was built with a variety of bodies but identical mechanics. The ingenious nature of the design is also evidenced by the fact that the II CV remained in the company’s programme in a variety of models for over 20 years, without substantial changes.
