Citroen Celebrates 80 Years Of The Traction Avant

FRENCH car maker Citroen is celebrating 80 years of its iconic Traction Avant in 2014 with a series of events dedicated to the famous model.

As a result, the front-wheel-drive Traction Avant boasted standard-setting characteristics for handling and road holding.
