As a past Traction Avant owner (five in total), we have very fond memories of driving these wonderful cars and the smiles you collect from those in more modern marques.Leon Simshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17609891995057827081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-45287105632545128122015-06-15T11:48:14.413+02:002015-06-15T11:48:14.413+02:00Very smart!Very smart!Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726164724131916224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-45644417313395902902015-06-15T10:39:43.828+02:002015-06-15T10:39:43.828+02:00Le bon vieux temps du film noir !Le bon vieux temps du film noir !Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05732906872139219420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-59108070332153131392015-06-15T09:45:51.481+02:002015-06-15T09:45:51.481+02:00I opened up this page in front of Paul.

As soon as I scrolled down, he said "'56" and then the model, but I didn't catch what he said. Let us know if he guessed the year right. We've been married almost 44 years; from the beginning, I knew I'd married a car enthusiast, a Citroën fan. If he ever goes senile, I think the last memories he'll have are cars. This one is a beauty and in wonderful condition.Ellen Lebellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01929639076042070115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-62299732647518929932015-06-15T09:30:29.364+02:002015-06-15T09:30:29.364+02:00I took the photos of Célestine with the Lumix TZ60...I took the photos of Célestine with the Lumix TZ60.
