Every French man bears some nostalgia for this small car, which was very often his first automobile. The program, drawn by Pierre Boulanger, was very simple – four wheels under an umbrella.
The first cars designed with a 375-cc, eight-horsepower engine were sluggish. For the sake of economy, the CV joints were omitted, causing a deep jerking when turning the steering wheel.
The Traction Avant, the 2CV and the DS 19 (born in the mid-1950s) were considered avant-garde without any concession to the conservative approach of the marketing specialists of other companies.
