France speaks of the Deux Chevaux - Citroën 2CV in (historic) test

December 28, 2020 — F. A. E. Martin 60

The Citroën 2CV was intended to be a car for those who couldn't actually afford one. Spartan and without much ornamentation, it was practical, spacious and cheap to maintain. Despite its simplicity, Citroën implemented some interesting solutions to problems. This historical article from hobby magazine reproduces the thoughts of the specialist press at the time.

Citroën 2 CV - ingenious, comfortable, practical and beyond prestige

November 10, 2012 — Bruno von Rotz 112

"Umbrella on wheels", "warhorse" or even "ugly duckling", the Citroën 2 CV was given many names during its long construction period. Despite many restrictions in terms of the objective of transporting four people protected from the weather at almost motorcycle costs, the design of the 2 CV demonstrated a great deal of innovation and brilliant engineering expertise. The fact that around five million "ducks" were built over a period of 40 years proves the foresight of the builders. This report tells the early history of the 2 CV and describes an example from 1958 in detail, illustrated with a large number of current and historical pictures, several sales brochures, the 1953 handbook and a series of technical drawings.

The successful ones - popular cars around the globe

July 11, 2013 — Bruno von Rotz 199

For most people, the VW Beetle is the Volkswagen par excellence, in every sense of the word. A car for the people, a people's car. And the Beetle was indeed an above-average success. But before it, Ford's Model T had already passed the 15 million mark, and in modern times the Toyota Corolla, VW Golf and Ford's F-series even managed to reach over 30 million, although they were not the only people's cars to do so. This report looks back at some selected production successes in car history and shows them in 200 pictures. A feast for the eyes!
