In 1938,
a six cylinder model as a replacement for the stillborn
22CV,
the 15 Six was
launched although only 90 were sold in 1938.
The body
and mechanical architecture were derived from those of
the 11B
but the bonnet was longer and fitted with cooling
grilles as opposed to
the opening flaps of the four cylinder models. The
chevrons were
mounted behind the radiator air intake.

|
Full
scale
production of the 15 Six began in 1939.
|
 |
|
It was
intended to be available as a Berline, Cabriolet,
Conduite Intérieure
and Familiale but in the event, very few Cabriolets were
built.
|
 |
|
Between
1940 and 1946, production all but ceased. The
cabriolets were
dropped
and only a few hundred cars were built including ten 15
Six Limousines.
|
 |
|
After the
war, production recommenced and Citroën showed three
models at the 1946
Paris Salon - the 11 Légère, the 11 Normale and the 15
Six with
initially only berlines being available.
