Citroen
In this new view of the Citroen story, automotive/aviation writer and design specialist Lance Cole investigates not just the details of the cars of Citroen, but the aeronautical and cultural origins that lay behind Citroen's form and function.

Now that Citroen cars are selling at the rate of over 100,000 vehicles per year in the United Kingdom and that there are presently more than a million examples currently registered as running on the British roads, Automobiles Citroens has become, once again, a major mainstream marque in this country. Yet few of these recent converts to Citroen ownership may be aware that this current situation echoes the success enjoyed by the marque in the 1920s when the Double Chevron marque was easily the most popular among imported Continental cars. So much so, in fact, that in 1926 its founder, Andre Citroen, established a factory at Slough to build his cars in right-hand-drive form for the British and ...

André Lefebvre, and the Cars He Created at Voisin and Citroën
Together with his colleagues at Citroën, Andre Lefebvre created the Traction Avant (1934), the TUB (1939) – Citroën's first front wheel drive utility van that was succeeded by the H and HY vans (1947) – the Deux Chevaux (1948), and, last but not least, the DS (1955). From 1923 to 1931 Lefebvre also designed several highly original and outstanding competition cars and record-breaking automobiles for Voisin. He even drove some these cars in races and record attempts.
