4 doors are CV2's

What year, Take a guess, they've had the same body style for over 20 years.
Actually longer then GM Chevy / GMC keeps an exterior/interior pickup design

Last year when i was in Chile, I saw a citreon like those pictured but it had been pimped with a large rear air foil. Pretty funny, looking for the picture.

If answered that question with "I don't know.", how funny would that be?

Oui, Oui monsieur vous êtes corriger.

Now for the bonus question, what does deux chavaux mean?













Answer: Two horses

Citroen they are. The Company is somehow connected to Peugeot if I am not mistaken.

BTW - In the movie "American Graffiti" that little clunker that Curt (Richard Dreyfuss) drove was a Citroen, but the correct year model of that car was not compatible for 1962 the year the movie supposedly took place in. I believe the car was newer than a 1962.
