Citroën is a major French automobile manufacturer, part of the
PSA Peugeot Citroën group.
Founded in
1919 by
French industrialist
André-Gustave Citroën (1878–1935),
Citroën was the first mass-production car company outside the
USA and pioneered the modern concept of creating a sales and services network that complements the motor car. Within eight years Citroën had become
Europe's largest car manufacturer and the 4th largest in the world.
The
Eiffel Tower served as a billboard for
Citroën from 1925 to 1934.
Citroën earned a reputation for innovation and revolutionary engineering, which is reflected in the company's slogan
"Créative Technologie". Its history of innovation began with its founding, when
André-Gustave Citroën introduced the first industrial mass production of vehicles outside the
United States, a technique he developed mass-producing armaments for the
French military in
World War I. In 1924,
Citroën produced
Europe’s first all-steel-bodied car, the
B-10. In 1934, Citroën secured its reputation for innovation with its
Traction Avant, not only the world's first mass-produced front-wheel drive car, but also one of the first cars to feature a monocoque-type body. In 1954
Citroën produced the world's first hydropneumatic self-levelling suspension system, then in 1955 the revolutionary
Citroën DS, the first
European production car with disc brakes. In 1967,
Citroën introduced the first swiveling headlights in several models, allowing for greater visibility on winding roads.
André Citroën built armaments for
France during
World War I and after the war he had a factory and no product. In
1919, the business started to produce automobiles, beginning with the conventional
Type A. The
Type A was designed by
Jules Salomon, Chief Design Officer from
Le Zèbre. The brand celebrated its
90th Anniversary in 2009. -

Ninjatoes made these perfect paper versions of some Lego characters. Lego (trademarked in capitals as LEGO) is a line of construction toys manufactured by the Lego Group, a privately held company based in Billund, Denmark. The company's flagship product, Lego, consists of colorful interlocking plastic bricks and an accompanying array of gears, minifigures and various other parts. Lego bricks can be assembled and connected in many ways, to construct such objects as vehicles, buildings, and even working robots. Anything constructed can then be taken apart again, and the pieces used to make other objects. The toys were originally designed in the 1940s in Denmark and have achieved an international appeal, with an extensive subculture that supports Lego movies, games, video games, competitions, and four Lego themed amusement parks. - Wikipedia
