Description
Citroën Traction 11 BL Découvreble SPOHN – 1937 French registration title This Citroën Traction Avant 11 BL was delivered new on 25 October 1937 (see Conservatoire Citroën certificate) to Mrs VDB in Haute-Marne.
At the time, it was a standard black 11 BL.

An officer in General de Lattre de Tassigny's 1st Army, he was posted to the French zone in Germany and billeted by requisition with Mr Josef Eiwanger, manager of the Spohn bodyworks.
At the time, the Spohn coachworks were working for the French Army.
Mr Eiwanger asked Mr Castor to build two cars specially for him: this Citroën Traction 11 BL and an Opel Super Six.
The bodywork modifications were carried out by Spohn around 1948-1949, including the convertible system.
Over the years, Mr Castor made additional modifications, such as a more recent dashboard trim and a complete interior.
The styling was strongly influenced by the French body...
