Sadly, I never took a picture of the Citroën Traction Avant 15-Six Familiale. But not everything is lost. Alternatively, here is the image of a 1937 Citroën Traction Avant 11 Faux Cabriolet at Estoril in October 2019, entry number 21 in the event "Concurso de Elegância ACP". What a lovely sight. ●

Infelizmente, nunca tirei uma fotografia do Citroën Traction Avant 15-Six Familiale. Mas nem tudo está perdido.
