C4 "Pompier"
Starting
in 1928, manufacture of the C4 in its various versions continued until 1932;
a few vehicles, termed "last in series" were even sold as late as 1933. Its treasury rating was 9 hp the first year, and it was increased
without modification to 10 hp in 1930, and then lowered back to 9 hp in
1931. In 1933, in parallel to the C4 IX, still rated at 9 hp, th C4 G came
out the rating of wich it was accepted at 10 hp. It had a slightly greater
cubic capacity and was supplied either with a normal engine or with a floating
engine, as required. This continued throughout the following series.
Designed according to a technique wich was fairly new for the time, and
inspired by American car building techniques, the C4 was an exceptionally
sturdy vehicle, with regard both to the engine and to the body.
The choice of bodies proposed by Citroën was sufficiently large to
meet all requirements: saloons, limousins, 4- and 6-seaters, coupés,
semiconvertibles, convertibles, open tourers, commercial open tourers, vans,
etc.
Over the years, the general appearance did not change very much, and it
was only a few modifications in the layout of the chromiun trims and the
inside fittings that made it possible to tell the year in wich these vehicles
were produced.
