About Citroen: According to Wikipedia, " In 1934, the firm established its reputation for innovative technology with the Traction Avant. This was the world's first car to be mass-produced with front-wheel drive, four-wheel independent suspension, as well as unibody construction, omitting a separate chassis, and instead using the body of the car itself as its main load-bearing structure.

In 1954 they produced the world's first hydro pneumatic self-levelling suspension system then, in 1955, the revolutionary DS, the first mass-produced car with modern disc brakes and, in 1967, they introduced in several of their models swivelling headlights that allowed for greater visibility on winding roads; these cars have received various national and international awards, including three European Car of the Year."

About the Poster: Showing how easily the car can be maneuvered, Pierre Louys shows women (gasp!) driving through the lovely and picturesque landscape.

In overall very good condition and ready to frame. From a private collection. See less
