The Citroën Type C was introduced in 1922. The Type C was also known as the 5HP, or the 5CV, and was a series of lightweight cars available in cabriolet or torpedo body styles. The Type C was offered in two lengths, the C2 was the shorter of the offerings, while the C3 was the longer version. Power for the Type C cars came from an 856cc inline four engine, and production continued until 1926.
