The 15/6, powerful and fast, is today one of the most sought after Tractions. The first 15/6 Gs are the rarest, while the latest 15/6 Hs are the most advanced: there is something for everyone. One thing is certain, the "15" is a car that is admired, respected, collected, in short a sure value that will remain for a long time in the French car landscape of the 60s: enough to mark several generations of enthusiasts!
As far as the 15 Six is concerned, there were no coupés or cabriolets produced in series. Madame would have her own 15 HP cabriolet but she was the boss's wife! The 15 Sixes, introduced in 1938, were all saloons with 4 or 6 windows, the latter being called long saloon, limousine or family car. The 4-window saloon body is much more balanced with a longer bonnet than the four-cylinder cars. Its comfort and top speed of 135 km/h made it quickly known as the "Queen of the Road".
Our Citroën 15 six is a 1952 model with straight bumpers and a "flat" trunk. It is in a superb condition. The interior in light grey leather is perfect. The engine has been completely rebuilt and runs very well. The paint and chrome are splendid. The fenders are equipped with aluminium shoes. The speedometer shows 60,819 km. This is certainly a very nice example of the famous "15", it is immediately usable. It is ready to be used immediately, so you can enjoy country rides on the small roads of France.
