Diorama Splendid Hotel - Painted and patinated, and possibly enhanced
with decorative elements, with these accessories you can create an ideal
presentation setting for your models with a minimum of work. You have
the possibility to design the front of the house into a „Splendid
Hotel“, with a view into the entrance hall. The first guests arrive at
the front of the hotel in their own car, a Citroen 5CV Trèfle. This car
had three seats and the arrangement of the occupants resembled a
cloverleaf, hence its nickname. The body of the car was made of wood to
which the preformed sheet metal was nailed. was nailed to it. The pedals
were made of aluminium and the floor was covered with a black floor
mat. The Citroën had only one door on the right side. On the right side
the driver‘s seat was fixed, but the passenger seat could be moved. The
waterproof hood was supported on pillars and the 850 cc engine could
accelerate the car up to 60 km/h. The other hotel guests are picked up
from the railway station by the Citroen C4 „Splendid Hotel“. This
minibus, which belonged to the hotel, drove the guests and their luggage
back and forth between the station and the hotel. With a technology
that was completely new for the time and inspired by American
construction techniques, the C.4s were extremely robust vehicle, both in
terms of the engine and the bodywork. The fiscal useful power of 9 hp
increased to 10 hp, then remained unchanged and was long timer later
reduced again to 9 hp. The variety of body styles offered by Citroën
meant that there was something for everyone. Saloon, 4-seater, 6-seater,
coupé, cabriolet, roadster, commercial roadster, van,
vans, minibuses/taxis, etc.
