The Original Model: A Technical Revolution
The Rosengart Super Traction was launched in the mid-1930s, directly inspired by the revolutionary Citroën Traction Avant. This automobile marked a major technological breakthrough with front-wheel drive, abandoning the classic rear propulsion scheme that dominated the automotive market at the time.
Equipped with a four-cylinder engine and a monocoque body, the Super Traction stood out for its exceptional road handling and unprecedented driving comfort for the era. Its modern line, with its low hood and optimized habitability, appealed to a discerning clientele in search of innovation and elegance.
Commercial success was immediate, positioning Rosengart as a manufacturer capable of competing with the big names in French automotive. This sedan contributed significantly to the evolution of technical and aesthetic standards in the French automotive industry of the 1930s.
Rosengart: The Boldness of a Visionary Manufacturer
Upon creating this model, Rosengart was undergoing a period of intense innovation. Founded by Lucien Rosengart in 1928, the brand quickly established itself as a major player in the French automotive scene through licensing agreements with Austin and then bold original creations.
The story of Rosengart begins with a man of many talents: Lucien Rosengart, inventor of the child safety device in automobiles and visionary entrepreneur. After gaining solid experience in the industry, he decided to create his own automotive brand by acquiring the assets of Bellanger. The first Rosengart cars were Austins assembled under license, allowing the brand to quickly establish itself in the French market.
The brand reached its peak in the 1930s, producing innovative vehicles that combined mechanical reliability with French refinement. Rosengart also developed notable sports models, solidifying its reputation as a manufacturer capable of blending performance and elegance. This flourishing period ended with World War II, marking the disappearance of this iconic French automotive brand.
An Automobile at the Heart of History
The Rosengart Super Traction has a fascinating history linked to the upheavals of its time. During the 1930s, these vehicles accompanied significant social changes in France, particularly the advent of paid holidays in 1936, which democratized automobile tourism.
This elegant sedan often traveled the mythical Nationale 7, nicknamed "the holiday road," connecting Paris to the Côte d'Azur. Bourgeois families chose it for its technical modernity and social prestige, making it a symbol of success and modernity. Its spacious interior and revolutionary driving comfort made it the ideal companion for long journeys to the South.
The most striking anecdote concerns the massive adoption of this front-wheel drive technology by the global automotive industry. What seemed like a risky innovation quickly became the norm, proving the forward-thinking vision of French engineers. The Super Traction was thus a testament to this period of technical excitement where France led the dance of global automotive innovation.
During the Occupation, these vehicles were often requisitioned by the authorities, paradoxically attesting to their recognized quality. Many disappeared during this dark period, making the surviving examples particularly valuable to today's collectors.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to understand the scales of miniatures?
Scale indicates the reduction ratio between the real car and the miniature. For example, at 1:43 scale, each centimeter on the miniature corresponds to 43 centimeters on the real vehicle.
Concretely, a 1/18 scale Ferrari model is approximately 25-30 cm long, while in 1/43 scale it measures approximately 10 cm.
What scales are available?
Our model cars are mainly offered in 1/43, 1/24, 1/18 and 1/87 (HO) scales. The scale is always indicated in the product sheet.
The smaller the second number, the larger the model car (e.g. 1/18 is larger than 1/43).
