img_6999My favorite car in all world is the Citroën 2CV (French: “deux chevaux” or “two steam horses). If I ever decide to seek my fortune in a parallel universe, it will certainly be in a Deux Chevaux. To be exact, it will be in a 1948 burgundy and black Charleston model.

On other trips, I used to see them much more frequently, but like rare birds, they are now quite scarce. I saw one the other day. It drove up and parked beside us as we picnicked in our car in the rain. I, of course, got quite excited, and took a photo out the window, before it got away, and then another shortly after, when I could get out and approach this work of automobile art. I have seen others on this trip, photos below. One was stashed in an old barn, where they are still most likely to be found, dusty, but saved by their owners who like me, could never part with them. Enjoy! ! ! Where would you go in YOUR  Deux Cheveaux?

  1. I opened the blog expecting to see two horses in a pasture – ha ha! What a cool car, have never seen one before. You are uncovering so many treasures. Looking forward to hearing more adventures! And my favorite all-time car, by the way, is a 1939 Mercedes Benz Diesel. The most gorgeous vehicle ever made…xxoo
