The history of the French Citroen 2CV subcompact reflected the events of the 20th century. The creation of the "people's" car was interrupted by the war. The car made its debut in 1948. Visitors to the Paris Motor Show criticized the unsightly appearance, but buyers favorably greeted the inexpensive, easy-to-drive car, which began to be called "two horses". The archaic design did not prevent the model from becoming a cult car. The oil crisis of the early 70s added popularity to the economical "baby", She even became the hero of one of the James Bond films.
The bright red body with removable roof, sloping hood, round headlights and radiator grille resembles a cartoon character. Inside the cabin there are two rows of armchairs-sofas, not separated by armrests, a simple steering wheel with a gearshift lever under it.
