01 / THE STORY
History & context
The Citroën 6C Coupé Cabriolet, crafted by the illustrious Milanese coachbuilder Touring in 1928, stands as a shining example of automotive elegance and craftsmanship. Built on the C6 chassis and commissioned by Citroën Italiana, this exquisite vehicle was designed specifically for Queen Margherita of Savoy, reflecting both the opulence and refinement befitting a royal patron. Touring’s expertise is evident in the Coupé Cabriolet’s sophisticated design. The bodywork features a seamless blend of elegance and functionality, capturing the essence of Italian automotive artistry. The design includes a graceful coupé silhouette with a convertible roof that can be retracted to enhance the vehicle’s versatility. This duality in design allowed for both a stately enclosed appearance and an open-air driving experience, catering to various preferences and occasions. The craftsmanship of Touring, known for its meticulous attention to detail, is exemplified in this model. The car’s lines are clean and refined, with a balanced proportion that highlights the grace and poise of early 20th-century automotive design. The Coupé Cabriolet is adorned with luxurious touches and fine finishes, demonstrating Touring’s commitment to creating vehicles that were not only functional but also aesthetically superior. As a ceremonial car built for royalty, the Citroën 6C Coupé Cabriolet reflects the grandeur and sophistication of its era. Its construction is a testament to the high standards of Italian coachbuilding and the enduring legacy of Touring’s role in shaping the design language of luxury automobiles.
