An exhibition celebrating the beauty and technical excellence of French automaker Citroën – Citroën: The Man, The Marque – is now open at the Mullin Automotive Museum in Oxnard, California. The exhibit features cars from the entre history of the company as well as an in-depth look at Andre Citroën himself, and will run through the Spring of 2018.
Citroën built a reputation over the last 98 years as a company willing to take risks and do things differently. It has continually managed to push the boundaries of technology and styling without losing the unique Gallic charm found in cars like the DS and the 2CV.
Founded in 1919 by Andre Citroën, the company was responsible for building Europe’s first affordable, mass-produced car, the Citroën Type A. The company also popularized front-wheel drive, unibody construction and four-wheel independent suspension with its revolutionary Traction Avant executive car.
“Citroën is a marque that has always appealed to me on some level,” said Peter Mullin, the museum’s founder and CEO. “The way in which the company set about designing its often odd, but always stunning, vehicles, packing them with wildly innovative technologies, is fascinating to me. I’m so pleased that we can share these incredible vehicles with the public, who may not have ever seen them in person, and I hope we’re able to create a new legion of Citroën devotees.”
