History of the Citroën 2CV: everyone's friend (copyright CQS)

No car has as many nicknames as the 2CV: “Deuche”, “the little goat”, “the Ami6”... This popular little car has left its mark on several generations and has even made its way into dictionaries, under its original name: two horses. These nicknames bear witness to the universal affection it arouses. Almost everyone knows someone who has owned one or driven one with pleasure.

Presented for the first time at the Paris Motor Show on October 7, 1948, the 2CV was initially an object of mockery. Yet only one Swiss magazine predicted a bright future for this car... and they were right?! By 1950, waiting times for a 2CV were six years.

A design based on in-depth market research

Its modest appearance might suggest that it was designed on a whim, but in reality, the 2CV was the result of in-depth market research combined with a perfect understanding of customer needs. It had to be affordable for farmers or workers, be able to carry a 50-litre barrel of wine and cross a field without breaking a single egg it was carrying. The roof, which was high enough, also had to allow the driver to keep his hat on in church.

A timeless icon

Despite its hesitant beginnings, the 2CV quickly became a success. More than just a utility vehicle, it evolved to embody a true art of living. Result: between 1948 and the end of its production in 1990, more than 4 million 2CVs were manufactured, some of which were in Belgium and Portugal. Its simplicity of construction also inspired many variations such as the Méhari, the Vans or kit cars such as the Burton or the Lomax.
