5 Deux Chevaux
(2CV)Nickname, la Deudeuche. Iconic minimalist French car, (see also Citroën). The first models of this car were produced in 1938, but the war stopped the project. The first 2CVs went on sale in 1949, and the last production line was closed in 1990 - bringing to an end an incredible 41 years of production. The original 2CV, with its spongy suspension, was designed as an affordable car for small farmers (paysans) and workers, a car in which one could carry a basket of eggs to market over France's poorly surfaced or unsurfaced roads, and arrive with all the eggs intact. Over five million "Deux-Chevaux" were produced by Citroën over the years, in France or plants abroad. Those that remain today are collector's items.Dictionnaire Français-Anglais.

6 DS
(Pronounced [Déesse], i.e. "Goddess")See also Citroën. The top-of- the range model produced by car manufacturer Citroën from 1955 to 1975. When it first came out, the car, with its revolutionary aerodynamics and air suspension, was far ahead of its time. It was the perfect vehicle for cruising at unlimited speed on the very poorly-surfaced main roads of fifties and sixties France. It was said at the time that the surfaces of French main roads would never improve, because all decision-makers rode round in DS, so never realised how bumpy the roads were for other drivers. -
7 deuche
n. f. (abbr. deux-chevaux): Citroen 2 CV motor car. (A not uncommon misconception is that this famous 'sit-up-and-beg' French motoring contraption is powered only by a 2 hp engine. In fact, for taxation purposes in France, road fund licences are issued for vehicles on the basis of 'chevaux fiscaux'. These units bear no relation to the traditional concept of brake horse-power.) -
8 deux-pattes
n. f. (joc.corr. deux-chevaux): Citroen 2CV motor car. (Contrary to popular belief, this frog-like economy motor car is not powered by a 2 horse-power engine. The French for taxation purposes have graded motor vehicles in chevaux fiscaux categories and the 602 cc engine certainly develops more power than a lawnmower!) -
9 I.D.
n. f.1. (abbr. Indication Durée) Appeler avec I.D.: To make an ADC call, to book a telephone call through the operator whose brief it is to inform you immediately after completion of its cost. -
10 traction
n. f. (abbr. traction avant): Family saloon car manufactured by Citroën between the 30s and the late 50s. -
