They are written up in the latest Rodent Track magazine. Or Rod and Truck or something like that. Citroen Import Service even has a web site <citroenimportservices.com> . For me the Citroens were always considered a "green" car, as their components were always returning to their natural state.. The steel was becoming iron oxide, the plastics and elastomers were pyrolizing or hydrolizing. I am referring to the ID 19 and 21 as well as the DS 21. Wonderful cars when new, (for the first month) My garage still stinks of the hydraulic fluid when my bosses DS 21 decided to poop out all it's capacity while parked overnight. That was in 1963, whe the car was new! Jerry Philippe AMARD wrote: > Oliver > You mean a "Traction Avant".
