So today this olelongrooffan was returning from TheKenMan’s pad where I picked up my pass for the AuctionsAmerica Auction next weekend over in Fort Lauderdale. As I was cruising down Airport Road here in FantasyLand, I squinted my eyes to take in a rarely seen shape in the next lane over just up a ways. Well my fellow Hoons, this olelongrooffan grabbed my new Bradley Brownell recommended Canon image taker, slowed my longerroof down a tad bit and grabbed a few images of it out the front windscreen.


Yeah, my fellow Hoons, it was a Citroen 2CV or Deux Chevaux right there in plain sight. As I passed by I noted the pilot was an older woman and she had a grin from ear to ear when she spotted this olelongrooffan showing her a “thumbs up” as I passed on by. Citroen made these things from 1948-1989 in France and many other locations around the world during that timeframe, ending production in Portugal in 1990. I’m not certain what the exact year of this beauty is as, like Volkswagen with their Type I, other than minor details, the body remained nearly unchanged for the 2CV’s entire run.

The last one I had seen one was at the REV’s Museum last fall and the last time this olelongrooffan has seen one out in the wild was so long ago that I can’t even remember that time. But I sure enjoyed this spotting made even better with the sight of that driver’s pure enjoyment at driving this rare old machine.
More on the 2CV here and check out this race.
Til the next time, remember to Celebrate Life.
