The original Citroën 15 CV, also known as the Citroën Traction Avant, was a popular executive car in France and featured front-wheel drive (hence its name, Traction Avant)—a technological innovation at the time. The specific Présidentielle version by Henri Chapron, a renowned French coachbuilder, was a luxurious modification of this vehicle, used for official purposes such as presidential or state ceremonies.

Henri Chapron is known for his elegant and high-end custom modifications of cars, often crafting vehicles for heads of state and dignitaries. The model captures the elegance and prestige associated with these vehicles, featuring detailed craftsmanship to replicate the luxurious touches made by Chapron.

Atlas Editions’ 1/43 scale model would typically feature intricate details such as the chrome work, official state decorations, and the presidential elements of the car. The 1/43 scale means the model is 43 times smaller than the real car, offering a balance between detail and compact size, making it a prized item for collectors.
