90 years ago, on October 5, 1921, the Citroen Type C was held at the Paris Motor Show, it is 5CV, it is the Le Petite Citron-"Limonchik". Citroen Type C was offered in two versions of the base, 2,250 and 2,350 mm, the latter being used for commercial versions of fourgonette, built in the number of more than 32,000. Andre Sithroena was the first to manage to create a fully inexpensive car in Europe. Citroen 5CV (this is the name of the car due to the number of taxable horsepower) has been simplified by engineer Edmond Moya precisely so that the owner of the car does not feel defective. The front and rear of the vehicle were suspended on the console of the elliptical springs. The shaft was placed into a thick pipe, which was intended to be attached to the main gearbox, which made it possible to bypass the sole joint of the gearbox. The brakes were only available on the rear wheels. Petrol was in the engine with a satchel from the tank overhanging over the steering column. In short, the Sietroen has shown himself to be a diligented student of Henry Ford, with whom he has been engaged and borrowed from mass production methods. At the time Citroën 5CV had quite a pretty look and had an electric arc, which made it attractive for motorists. In fact, Citroen 5CV became the first European female car. He also gave birth to the first mockery of a woman's special attitude towards the car. From the Citroen Type C model, France's mass auto-mobilization has begun. " They come, my feet, rustling with outfits, without having to turn a chirping, the beautiful creatures with a tiny convertible 5CV. Look how beautiful they are in mechanics. According to one, there will be turbochargers in the fashion, " the famous journalist said. The car was nicknamed "Lemons" for the unexpected color-yellow for the time. It is in this color and with the fashionable body of type Trèfle (clover, tricleaf) the car made its debut at the Paris Salon. The body had two seats in front and the only rear in the middle of a wedge of a wedge. The vehicle was equipped with a 4-cylinder 85-cubic-powered engine with a capacity of 11 litres. and a three-speed gearbox. A "lemon" with a mass of 590 kg has been dispersed to 60 km/h and spent 5 litres of fuel per 100 km. Citroen 5CV began in 1922. The success of the model was devastating: Automobiles Cleaner-Bayer's specially purchased factory on the Mishelu Embankment embankment in Levallois was not able to handle the orders. A total of 250 such machines were produced a day-a perfectly modern rhythm. Until May 1926 S. A. Citroen produced 80,759 Lemons. Opel 4/12PS was difficult to distinguish from Citroen 5CV: the German court clearly msteed Citroen for his shrapnel, released during the World War on German soldiers. This car became an occasion, perhaps, for the first clarification of the relations between the automotive industrialists of Europe. In 1924 Opel showed its new model 4/12PS-the 5CV. Suffice it to say that the "Sitroen" wheelbase is 2,250 mm, and Opel is 2255 mm. Opel 4/12PS was the first model of the German mark that was assembled in the pipeline. She was waiting for the same popularity-Opel quickly captured 37.5% of the German market. The returned Sietroen appealed to the court-the defendant's place of residence. But the German court rejected the claim, cynically referring to the "Opel" model "having a different form", which means that there is no plagiarism in the mine. The German model was often painted green, for which she received the nickname Laufrosch-"the tree frog". In this connection, by comparing the two cars, the Germans used the saying in Grün-in a Russian translation of something like "the same dish, but under different sauce." Citroen Type C was offered in two versions of the base, 2,250 and 2,350 mm, the latter being used for commercial versions of fourgonette, built in the number of more than 32,000. From the Citroen Type C model, France's mass auto-mobilization has begun. Citroen Type C is almost indistinguishable from the Opel 4/12PS chassis. The manual brake was on the back wheels, the foot of the transmission. Tèfle (clover, triceberries) was an acute mogen in the 1920s, not only among the buyers of inexpensive cars. In the absence of the third behind, the luggage was well placed. The contest of elegance in Lisbon in the late 1920s. Citroen Type C passes "jeep" exercise-"swing". Opel 4/12PS was difficult to distinguish from Citroen 5CV: the German court clearly msteed Citroen for his shrapnel, released during World War on German soldiers.
