Description
1955 CITROËN TRACTION 15/6 H No reserve Chassis 728745 Sold by court order without registration documents; buyer’s fees 14.28% incl. VAT. - Has been off the road for around twenty years - Rare Midnight Blue colour - Restoration project Introduced in 1954, the 15/6 H represents the final evolution of the Traction Avant range. The letter ‘H’ denotes the adoption, on the rear axle, of the hydropneumatic suspension developed by Citroën, foreshadowing the system of the future DS. This system offered automatic ride height adjustment and unprecedented ride comfort, cementing this model’s status as the ‘Queen of the Road’. Fitted with a 2.9-litre 6-cylinder engine producing 77 horsepower, the 15/6 H was produced until 1956, the year that marked the end of the Traction’s production run in favour of the DS. The example on display, bearing chassis number 728745, is finished in Midnight Blue, a feature specific to the final model years of the Traction. Time has stood still for this car for the past 26 years, since it was last driven; newspapers from the period are still present in the cabin, as is the famous ‘99’ sticker. Having been out of use ever since, the car will require a general overhaul due to its long period of inactivity. This 1955 Citroën Traction 15/6 H, the final evolution of the series, presents an interesting project. Unused since 1999 and offered as part of a judicial sale, it provides a starting point for enthusiasts of the brand wishing to restore this iconic model. 1955 CITROËN TRACTION 15/6 H Chassis 728745 Sold by court order without registration documents - Has been off the road for around twenty years - Rare Midnight Blue colour - Restoration project Introduced in 1954, the 15/6 H represents the final evolution of the Traction Avant range.
