Designed as an inexpensive car for rural France in the early post-war years, the Citroen 2CV, with its twin-cylinder engine, high clearance, and no-frills design, was ideal for taking produce to the market and traversing rough country roads. Eventually, its quirkiness made it the car de rigeur for swinging hipsters in France's more urban areas. Matt White traces the story behind 2CV development and details later modifications that added a degree of refinement to the car's essential appeal. Also covered is the 2CV racing class that has gained a unique following all its own. A generous gallery of black-and-white photography is supplemented by eight pages of color photos.
