2 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.
