Over the weekend I spotted this super clean Citroen. I don’t know a much about them, but I’m fairly confident that this is a 2CV model. It was probably built between 1960-something and 1980-something. Since the body was basically the same for its entire 20+ year production, it’s tough for the non-Citroen enthusiast to spot the differences. The one thing that I do know is that Sunday was a beautiful day and their roof was rolled back, making it a far more appropriate summer vehicle than my 4 door, sunroof-less, Subaru 2.5 RS. I must say that I did walk away from the Citreon moderately confused about the shoes hanging on the front bumper, but for all I know, it could have been designed for that.
My grandparents owned 3-4 when they lived in Germany, I liked them when I was a kid, still do. I have only seen one and it was in Tennessee 8 years ago, a guy was towing it behind his giant RV. I always heard that you couldn’t get them shipped to the states because of customs, guess not. Love the website and blogs by the way! I just bought a 2009 Pontiac G8 GT a month ago btw.
Hi Chris! Thanks for the kind words! I would absolutely love to have a G8 GT. One of the guys here has the V6 version and loves it, but he also dreams of owning the GT model with the manual transmission. Someday…..
Like them? Does Kristie Alley like ice cream? http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/search/label/2CV
