kimbergoat:bogleech:not-fun:fuckyeahconceptcarz:1939 Citroën 2CV PrototypeYOU KNOW THIS CAR HAS A REALLY COOL HISTORYbasically the citroen company was working on an everyman french car, when all of a sudden WHAM, NAZIS SHOWED UP.well, they didnt want their work going to the nazis. so the prototypes? were hidden. squirreled away, all records of them in the factory destroyed. people fucking stowed these cars in attics and basements, workers preserving their contribution and REFUSING to let the bigoted war machine take it over and make it theirs.and once the war was over? the prototypes…emerged. like daffodils in spring :O they rolled out of hiding and citroen got back together and began rolling out a production model. a production model UNTAINTED by nazis. the marvelous 2cv….the car in and of itself exists as a big ol fuck you to nazis. how cool is that.And it’s fucking gorgeous like I have very rarely appreciated cars as anything other than the thing I use to get where I need to go but I strongly wish I could drive a thing that looked like thisok but it has one headlight and you have to crank it by hand to start it -- source link
