Alpine A 110
Citroen Traction Avant
Citroen HY
Renualt R5
Citroen 2CV

“La Déesse” (the Goddess) in 1st place among the most popular French classic cars on Classic Trader – The Citroën DS was a milestone in automobile construction and design and is by far the most sought-after French model. In 2nd place, a sensation when it was presented in 1970, is the Citroën SM. Technically not quite straightforward, but powerful thanks to the Maserati engine. Citroën’s triple victory is completed by the 2CV. Compact, practical, durable – the deux chevaux has had a firm place in the French street scene for decades and lands in 3rd place in the Classic Trader search.
