Lady Luxury The Citroën 11CV was produced from 1934 to 1957 and was one of France's best vehicles at that time. The lightweight monocoque body and the low center of gravity front wheel drive setup with torsion bar spring suspension system gave it a superior performance. They were widely used by the French military and thereby large numbers of them were used by German forces with the capture of France. They were deployed to throughout Europe, Russia, and North Africa.
