The iconic shape of the Citroën 2CV.

Hey, a "Charleston" version of the 2 CV! When I finally took a 2 week vacation in France in 2007, I rented a car for the two weeks and I expected to see ancient 2 CVs like the Charleston still puffing along country roads. No such luck! They had disappeared from all roads by 2007, along with other massively produced icons like the Citroen DS and the corrugated metal Citroen H van.

My trip was not a complete automotive failure though. When I visited the big French tank museum in Saumur I discovered that they had placed a Leclerc Main Battle Tank right there in the main visitor parking lot. I parked my rented car in front of it.

Weird enough, because where I live I see 2CVs (even Charleston) driving around sometimes.

This is just too darn cute, I love it!

Such a happy 2CV.
