The Citroën 2CV6 (or 2CV) is the most successful French car in the world. Commonly known as “La deux chevaux”, this little French car first introduced at the 1948 Paris Mondial de l’Automobile and manufactured by Citroën for model years 1948-1990. It was designed to transport 4 people, a basket of eggs through a potato field without breaking any eggs.
The first version of “La deux chevaux” was known for its air-cooled front-engine (375cc H2 9hp) with a 4-speed manual transmission. Later on, the car received numerous upgrades; from the rounded to rectangular shaped headlights, back to rounded headlights; to a 425cc H2 12hp to a 435cc H2 24hp to a 602cc H2 29hp engine.
