Four wheels, nine horsepower, a maximum of 70 km / h - and a thousand adventures: nothing less than an automobile revolution, the French manufacturer Citroën on 7 October 1948 at the Paris Motor Show before the astonished public. And certainly not because her new model 2CV would have been more refined, stronger or faster than the competition. But because it was so Spartan.The basic specification for the design was: "A car that provides space for two farmers in boots and one hundred kilos bag of potatoes , drives at least 60 kilometers per hour and consumes only three liters per 100 kilometers." The result was a tin box on wheels with roll-up roof and the cornering behavior of a drunken dromedary. But she was cheap - and economical. That was enough.
Now there is a true classic.Happy birthday, Deux Chevaux!
In my case, I'm closer to a case of deux cheveux.;-(
Well said, Rob.And I'm getting even closer to un cheveu.
It's all relative - deux cheveux sur la tête est relativement peu, mais deux cheveux dans une soupe est relativement beaucoup.
