Lack of external charm? Wonderful to look back on the reactions in the trade press about the Citroën 2 CV around the fifties:
"All French people agree, you'd better have a very simple 2 CV and sit dry and not have to waste large amounts of gas."
“The trump card of Citroën who with the young ugly duckling has taken a huge hold on the crowd, the trolley appears to have excellent qualities in practice. "
“When you drive it, it's like being in a Buick. Overdone? No, the seats are simply made, provide the ultimate in comfort, we soon discovered it, the truth was spoken.”
It is special to read again how the 'conveniences' were described. The technical creation of that time has become an icon.
