These are very nice cars. I notice that the coupe has the very early lighting controls in place of the more usual single stalk control on the steering column.Hi Everyone
Although I do not have a traction.... yet, I thought of sharing these pics with you tractionaholics
The first one is a 1938 Faux coupe, imported to South Africa in +-1985 been restored in 1986 and been going ever since, no rust what so ever!! The car gets used fairly often and is just.... great!! It won the local concourse scoring 98% on a few occasions, Oliver ds Serres knows a fair bit about the history of these two cars, where they came from et cetra..
The next one is, I think somewhere in the region of 1936 ,Faux cabriolet, it was completed in 2008 if I am not mistaken. still needs a bit of work but is quite nice, it was up for sale for around Aud$140 000 But the owner wants to keep it in South Africa, I think it will eventually find it's way back to Europe, it is inevetable.

I tried to upload an extract from "Accessoires pour Citroen Traction Avant 7 & 11 CV", a catalogue I downloaded that shows those controls as an in period accessory.
My daughters wedding and the wedding cars were a Light 15 and an 11BN
a beautiful day in every respect and the Tractions were very much appreciated by everyone.
