Description

The Citroen 2CV: A Car That Defied Convention. This book tells the story of one of the most iconic cars in motoring history, designed to be affordable and practical transport for French farmers. Yet, it also found its way into the fashionable quarters of Paris. The author explains how designers successfully achieved a rugged and utilitarian design suitable for times of austerity while producing a truly classless car. The Citroen 2CV was conceived when Citroen was owned by the Michelin tire company, and its history is marked by ingenious design aspects, such as the corrugated metal bonnet, hammock seats, push-pull gear lever, and twin-cylinder air-cooled engine. The book covers the evolution of the car and its variants, including the Dyane, Ami 6 and Ami 8, and the British-built Bijou. Illustrated with a unique collection of high-quality photographs, this concise book provides a comprehensive overview of the famous Citroen 2CV.
