Citroën

Citro&euml;n is a French automotive manufacturer founded in 1919 by Andr&eacute; Citro&euml;n. Since its early years, and models like the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/citroen/traction-avant/">Traction Avant</a>, Citro&euml;n has been known for creating innovative, forward thinking cars. While also known for their innovations, Citro&euml;n is also well known for being slightly quirky and distinctive, giving their cars a personality few automotive manufacturers could hope to achieve. Models like the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/citroen/2cv/">2CV</a> and <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/citroen/ds/">DS</a> are not only highly regarded cars, but they are also culturally important, featuring regularly in pop culture. In 1976, Citro&euml;n was acquired by <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/peugeot/">Peugeot</a>, and has since produced notable models such as the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/citroen/sm/">SM</a> and <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/citroen/xm/">XM</a>, but much of the original character and flair of Citro&euml;n has been restrained since the acquisition. While early models were sold in North America, in 1991 Citro&euml;n decided to pull out of the market.
