The metal model of the Citroen Type 45 bus in red/light beige color will charm you with its high-quality and detailed workmanship. The model is packed in a blister.
The Citroën Type 45 was produced as a large truck and coach between 1933 and 1953. The platform was the same as the Citroën Type 29, but the engine was a newly developed six-cylinder petrol engine with a displacement of 4,580 cc and a maximum power of 73 hp (54 kW). This was not derived from the car's engine. The maximum payload was 5 tons. As a city bus, the vehicle could fit up to 40 people. The Type 45 was also used during World War II. During the war and the post-war period, many were also operated on wood gas. After 72,423 copies were produced, it was replaced by the Citroën Type 55.
