Often referred to as the “Queen of the Road,” the Citroën Traction Avant 15 Six H is a French classic celebrated for its innovative engineering and distinctive design. Powered by a rebuilt 2.9-liter inline-six engine paired with a 3-speed manual transmission, this 1954 example is finished in black over a grey interior and features a monocoque body, a hydraulic suspension system, drum brakes, steel wheels with chrome hubcaps, and more. This Traction Avant is now being offered for auction once again by its seller out of Canada.

The Traction Avant 15H boasts a sleek, streamlined design with a low profile and a monocoque body that offers superior rigidity and safety compared to the body-on-frame designs of its time. This example is refinished in black and showcases chrome round headlights mounted on the front fenders, chrome bumpers with overriders, a distinctive chrome grille with horizontal slats, and the Citroën double-chevron emblem. Additional features include a tilt-out windshield, louvered hood, coach front doors, and rear stone guards. It rides on cream-finished 400mm steel wheels with chrome hubcaps wrapped in Michelin X tires. Detailed images are provided in the gallery.

The interior features grey cloth upholstery on both the front seats and rear bench, complemented by matching door panels and a headliner. The grey-finished metal dashboard includes a Jaeger instrument cluster, a temperature gauge, essential gauges, switchgear, and a glove box. Additional equipment includes front lap belts, seat pockets, and a pillow. All gauges and electronics are reported to be in proper working order.

The 2.9-liter inline-six engine was rebuilt in 2005 and delivers power to the front wheels through a 3-speed manual transmission. It features a rack-and-pinion steering system, a hydraulic suspension system, and drum brakes on all four corners.

This sale will include a bill of sale.
