Nicknamed the “Petit Citron” (Little Lemon) for its bright yellow finish at its 1922 debut, the Citroën Type C marked a turning point in making car ownership more accessible to the French public. This original photographic composition features a restored 1925 C3 model displayed in front of a vintage catalog image of an earlier variant—the 1923 TL/C3 Cabriolet. Designed at a time when the automobile was becoming both a practical tool and a modern status symbol, its streamlined silhouette and bold color reflect the influence of the Art Deco movement. With elegant lines and geometric clarity, this iconic vehicle captures the optimism and forward-looking spirit of its era. (November 2025)
