My friend, Francine,
Glad to see you joined but PLEASE BEHAVE yourself! Watch and LEARN!
This board is for TRADITIONAL HOT RODS and CUSTOMS and as such, people get a little upset when others post off-topic stuff.



Someone had a few pics of a later Citroen that was modified into something along the lines of a fenderless racecar, anyone have pics?

 

ok I watch and read and it's interesting ;-)))))

I stay to see pics ....miam...

kisses
Francine

 

Here is a pic of the Thunder Frog, that raced at Bonneville.

But thats probably not the pic you are after.

I have some more pics of Citroen Racers, but those are Road Track & Rally Cars...

It's interesting to see from France what american people do with our cars...we love to see It's pretty nice

I wait the others pics thanks a lot for your pics ;-)))

Kisses

Francine

Wait.... you can't customize AND drive your cars in France??? What a load of crap!

 

I don't care for citroens at all but this one was at sema and kinda cool

every time i see a Citroen i think of that scene in Scarface.

 

It's a DS Citroen. The car of the presidence (Charles de Gaulle).

http://www.psa-peugeot-citroen.com/en/magazine/magazine_doss_c3.php?id=293

The “DS” saves the president’s life! It was well.

But for fun....and style I prefer the traction avant ha ha ha !!

 

I think this would look cool in black dropped over a set of red wheels in a trad style:



Not sure the face is much to look at, but its different!

 

Oh yeah, with round forms nicely ;-))))

 

That red one is a cute little thing. It seems there are all kinds of possibilities there. I was gonna jam a .060 over 383 Mercury in a '38 Opel one time. Got out of the service and never got around to it. The Opel sort of looked like that red one ... Looks like "Dirty Dozen" cars ..

 

This red one is one of my best friends. Now he is building a Riley and its "KILLER" It's not traditional but if you would like to see some pics send me an email. bscustomfab@paducah.com

 

Traction Avants were wild cars for thair day, who'd of thought front wheel drive would come so far.

 

The bad guys drove a Traction Avant in the chase sceen in "To Catch A Theif." Grace Kelly looked so good in that entire movie.

 

oh thanks a lot Truss !

I have this movie in my collection. I am going to see again ;-)

euh please my friend what mean a "Grenade inspector" ???

Francine

PS : I love the H A M B

 

Take a look at this badass 2cv Citroen

 

Funny to see this look of the " deudeuche" the "2 CV" the "deux chevaux" very popular in France strong car......I like.

 

Yeah, Francine, the 11CV rules. Got one of my own. Nicest car I have.
Andre Citroen visited Henry Ford in 1912. They became good friends, thats why the 11CV and the 1934 Ford look very similar.
Heres a pic of mine:


Was the first car with hydraulic brakes in 1934.And the first car, that everyone could buy, that would go 100km/h. When other guys step on the brakes in a curve, You in Your Citroen step on the gas, because it is glued to the road. Indiana Jones and his dad crash a convertible in one of the Jones-movies.

Oh, sorry, I am O/T, its not a traditional hotrod.
By the way, I use a lot of Citroen 11CV parts for my rod. F.e. the rims and the headlights.
Here s a pic from a modified Citroen rod, built by a guy from Belgium (I think):
