Catalogue information
* clamped tin front bumper, no number in the bottom plate. The Citroen Traction Avant was Meccano France's most popular model. In 1954, 500,000 were sold, according to the manufacturer, against 50,000 of the other models from the 24 series. There are 2 types of 24 N, one with spare wheel and cover on the back (production 1949-1952), followed by one with luggage compartment (production 1953-1958). Over time, different variants of both types were developed. The second type (0024N F-2) is recognizable by the radiator grille with many and narrower bars and the massive front bumper. The variants are distinguished by the lettering on the underbody, the inside of the roof and the size of the rear window. Sources: * Jean-Michel Roulet. Dinky Toys and French Dinky Supertoys.
