Small correction but credit where it is due? The Traction Avant was designed by Flamino Bertoni who went on to work his artistic genious on the stunningly beautiful DS. Leferbre was the equally brilliant chief engineer on the same projects.Thank you R.W. Imes.
Isn't this model also known as "Citroën Légère?" --

The term "légèr(e)" means "light". This term was applied to the 11L, only one of many models. Groogle 04:45, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
I have a book called "Traction Avant: Toute l'histoire" ("Front wheel drive: the whole story") by Olivier de Serres, published in 1994 by Editions E/P/A, from which I have extracted some of the details of the updates I have just made to the main page. The mention of the sun roof on the Slough-built cars is from my own recollection: I had four of them (three 11L/light 15, one 11/big 15). None of them had a sun roof.

This article states that the "traction avant" was the first front wheel drive car in large scale production. However, 4300 DKW F1 (see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DKW and
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:DKW-F1.jpg) front-wheel cars were sold as early as 1932 - surely large-scale production for thoses days. This was followed by a line of cars that went on to the three-cylinder, two-stroke FWDs which were built in west Germany up to the 1960s and survived up to the end of the GDR in the Wartburg and Trabant.

A beam axle at the rear cannot be considered independent, so the claim of all round independent suspension needs to be removed. Early use of monocoque construction can be put in its place. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.32.118.192 ( talk) 01:56, 31 December 2018 (UTC)
