The Citroen CX, designed by Robert Opron, was manufactured by the French automaker from 1974 to 1991. The front-engine, front-wheel-drive luxury car was available as a standard 4-door fastback or, on a longer wheelbase, as a stretch 4-door fastback or estate. In addition to advanced features such as hydro-pneumatic self-levelling suspension and speed-sensitive power steering, the CX had a sleek, wind-tunnel tested body design with a drag coefficient of only 0.36.
The Matchbox Citroen CX Station Wagon was first released in 1979 and was produced in about 19 different variations. This nice metallic light blue model with yellow interior and metallic gray metal base is another of my Wichita eBay scores.
In addition to being packaged individually, the Citroen CX was also included in the 1982 TP-31 Two Pack, paired with the Motorcycle Trailer. A similar casting is the Citroen CX Ambulance, which was produced in 6 different variations starting in 1980.
The Matchbox #12 Citroen CX Station Wagon features an opening rear tailgate.

I’ve admired the look of the Citroen wagons since I was a kid. Click here to see the Husky Citroen Safari that I still have from my childhood.
