1922 Citroën 5-CV Torpedo Cabriolet

Item Details

A 1922 Citroën 5-CV Torpedo Cabriolet in original yellow paint. Manufacturer’s serial no. 20561. A collectible roadster designed and made in France during pre-depression years with styling at the height of fashion for its day. The vehicle features a two-passenger coupe body style with convertible top, luggage and cargo carrying capabilities and all original parts shown. Due to age and origin of the vehicle, mileage was not able to be determined nor is a VIN applicable. Included are several diagrams, cross-sections, pamphlets and spec sheets gathered and passed along over the years by previous owners. Provenance is stated as purchased from the Paris Museum by a prominent Cincinnati family during a tenure in the mid-1960s; it was later brought to Ohio, where it has remained since. Lineage can be traced back to two additional owners after that beginning with a purchase in the early 1970s, and then by inheritance through to present day.
