That's another Citroen. CV-2 (??). Few vehicles have been produced longer than that. Late 40's (??) thru mid 90's (??) Way cool vehicles.

I like it too! It's just ugly enough to look okay.

Is that the stick shift up there in the middle? Just like that Honda that came out last year.

Yes, that's the shifter. Typical on a lot of Citroens.

Citroens are not cool! Some dumb prick up here is always holding up traffic in his 3 Cylinder. Pretty funny cause he drives the mountain road like a racetrack using both lanes and stuff, but the damn thing tops out at 60! I usually pass on the right, in my lane without any trouble.

I've always thought Citroens were a kick. Might be more trouble than it's worth to try to keep one running, but still......

I like the fact that the spare takes up more room than the engine under the hood. The auction should say "be advised that heads are going to turn...very slowly."
