I cant belive its like this from factory, you would expect an inline 6 to be more quiet.

The Citroën Traction Avant 15/6 Familiale from 1954.

It is powered by a 2.9-liter inline-six engine producing 77 hp, giving the car a top speed of nearly 140 km/h.

This is the extra-long Traction Avant, the Familiale, which features a third row of seats and can accommodate up to eight passengers.

There were many 15/6 models (the six-cylinder variant) and many Familiales, but according to the book "Citroën Traction – The Numbers", which is based on factory ledgers, only 397 cars were both 15/6 models and eight-seat Familiales. This makes this configuration one of the rarest of all Traction Avants.

It is the longest Traction Avant ever produced. It combines the additional side window of the Familiale/Commerciale body style with the longer bonnet of the six-cylinder model, resulting in an overall length of 4.82 meters.

My family and I are very happy with this purchase and use the car often. It would be a shame for it to remain untouched in a garage, as it had for the previous 12 years.

The car is almost exactly as it was when new. The only exception is the interior, which was originally upholstered in a brown-green plush fabric. However, buyers could order leather upholstery for an additional cost, and for a vehicle designed to carry eight potentially dirty passengers, this was not especially uncommon.

Thank you for your attention. I wanted to create a short presentation of this car because, due to its rarity, there are very few photographs of it available online. Perhaps this will help other enthusiasts with their research in the future. Please feel free to ask any questions if you wish.
