Description

Assembled model 1/8 car Citroen 15 SIX Traction Avant Heller 80799 'TRACTION' was introduced at the 1934 motor show. At that time there were three versions: '7', '11' and '22'. '7 cv' was almost a test car. The '11cv' was offered in two versions: the light '11 légère' and the regular '11'. '22 CV' had a short life as the only show where it appeared was in 1934. It was Andre Lefebvre who undertook the construction of a revolutionary car called TRACTION. Since then, CITROEN has started building a more powerful car, and in 1938, the six-cylinder 'CITROEN 15 SIX' appeared. The '15 SIX' was a regular '11 CV' with an extended bonnet and it reached speeds of up to 130 km/h, with excellent handling, earning it the nickname 'La Reine de la Route' (The Queen). roads). In 1953, CITROEN offered three new colours: pearl grey, smoke gray and navy blue, but black always remained the favourite. Between 1946 and 1955, the 15 was the official car of the French government. In 1955, the Presidency of the Republic purchased three '15 SIX H' platforms. One of them, with a Fresnay limousine body, was for a long time the official car of President René Coty and General de Gaulle. Production of the CITROEN 15 ceased in mid-1955 after seventeen years of success.
