From Michelin to Ovomaltine – This Citroën-Cabrio War Started with One of the Unternehmers

In the 1930s there was a Citroën that had a higher price. The new Modell Traction 15 Six was called the “Queen of the Road”, because the driving characteristics combined with a powerful 2.8-liter cylinder with 77 PS power under the engine were impressive. The World has now started with the debut of the Cabrio version. In 1939 wars were fought and Citroën research activities tested a handful of prototypes on the current month.

With the use of the Zweiten Weltkriegs it was such that the origin of the Citroën Traction 15 Six Cabriolet turned out to be a secret woben – it is a fact that now the bodywork has a wild word, while it still has not started at the war beginning with fertiggestellt wurden.

The problem of the nachkriegsleben of the convertibles is incomprehensible, but it is carried out in the year 1964 in the finalization by: then namely as Raoul Wander, chef of the Schokoladen-powdermarke Ovomaltine, his new Besitz in Empfang nahm. Wander had the wonderful Citroën for two years, the car became the property of Denys Joannon in February 1966, the Cabriolet with a 15 Six D-Motor from the 50s back and in the Rot-Ton there is no shortage of lies, the man here see.

Damit was this Queen of the Road also auch zum teuersten Citroën-Strassewagen öchten avanciert. I let the Cabriolet enjoy over 80,000 euros for a number of years.
