The vehicle and its history

The Citroën Traction Avant 11CV is a French passenger car that was produced from 1934 to 1957. Its innovative front-wheel drive, monocoque body, and independent suspension set new standards in the automotive industry. The ACE kit replicates the staff car version used by the French armed forces during World War II, as well as various Allied countries, such as the United Kingdom, Poland, and the USSR. The Traction Avant 11CV was also readily confiscated and used by the German army during the occupation of France. It saw use on Western fronts and in partisan operations throughout Europe.

The model presented depicts the World War II era, although the original design was also present in the interwar and postwar periods.
