Citroën Traction Avant for your wedding
The Citroën Traction Avant, or simply the Traction, is not on the site at the moment. Citroën built it from the mid-1930s to the mid-1950s. The name refers to its front-wheel drive, which was a real innovation at the time. With its low build, separate headlamps, large wings and running boards, it has the silhouette many people know from films and series set in France between the 1930s and the 1950s.
As a wedding car, the Traction has a distinct atmosphere: stylish, slightly mysterious and instantly recognisable. It suits a wedding with a vintage theme, a 1930s dress or a party at an old country estate. There are four-door saloons, which makes getting in easier for the bride. Do bear the car's age in mind: the technology is simple, there is no air conditioning and the pace is slower than in a car from the 1960s. A short, relaxed route is therefore the most enjoyable.
Classic cars with a similar look that are online
For the classic lines of the early 1950s, the Bentley MK VI is a strong choice, with its large wings and upright grille. If you would like to stay with Citroën, look at the Citroën 2CV, the cheerful French people's car that also appeared shortly after the war.
For more choice, take a look at the classic cars as wedding cars, from British luxury cars to American land yachts. The selection changes: if a Traction comes online later, it will appear here.
Frequently asked questions
Is a car from the 1930s or 1940s reliable on a wedding day?
A well-maintained Traction can cope perfectly well with a wedding day, but it is still a car that is eighty years old or more. Choose a rental company that drives the car regularly, keep the route short and avoid motorways. Also ask what happens if it breaks down. With calm planning and a little extra time in hand, it usually goes smoothly.
Which wedding style suits a Citroën Traction?
The Traction suits a wedding with a vintage or Art Deco theme: a dress with a straight cut, a hat or short veil, and a suit with a waistcoat. It also looks wonderful alongside a country estate, an old town villa or a French garden. Dark paintwork with white flowers makes a stylish contrast.
Is it easy for a bride to get in and out of a low classic car?
In a low car the bride will need to duck down a little, but the four doors of the Traction make it easier than a two-door. The running boards help when stepping out. Ask someone to gather up the dress and take your time. A short trial run with the real shoes will prevent surprises on the day.
Why can't we find a Citroën Traction on the site?
The site shows cars that rental companies list themselves, and at the moment nobody has offered a Traction. There are other classic cars with timeless lines, though. Do check back later: as soon as a Traction is added, it will appear on this page.
