Model history and curiosity

The Familiale and Commerciale now have 12 inch drums at the rear, same as the 15 Six. Twin rear lights on all Traction Avants.
In May: A new engine, the 11D is introduced. This engine also powers the DS which is introduced this year as well. This engine can be identified by the inscription "11D" between the second and third sparkplug (previously: "11"). There is a side mounted oil filler neck and a new airfilter. Compression is raised to 6.8:1, the camshaft is modified as well as the rockers, pistons, conrods, crankshaft and the sump. This new engine which still is 1911cc, gives 60 hp @ 4000 rpm. It's not the power increase but rather the wide torque range of the engine that gives it it's new refinement.
July: New carburettor, rubber boots on the driveshafts.
