An ‘Auto’biography of History

Reinout’s notes:

The MG looks most like a TC. There are two iconic French cars in the photo.

The large car to the left of the MG is a Citroen Traction Avant. It was one of the earliest mass-produced front wheel drive vehicles (760,000 built between 1934 and 1957). It also featured 4-wheel independent suspension and a monocoque construction, novelties at that time. Various models including a convertible were produced and powered by inline 4- and 6-cylinder engines.
