Old European cars #2


 
 
 
1969 Citroen ami 6 " flower power". It sort of reminds me of the Volkswagen buses with flower paintings all over the sides. It is a car similar to the Citroen 2CV "duh shuh vo". It is also similar to the Citroen DS " day es". The ami 6 was one of the classic family cars. The ami is a sedan and the ami 6 is a station wagon.

 
 
A London taxi that was in fact on the same block as the ami 6 " flower power" wagon. This London taxi is not the best I have ever seen. It is a little new for my taste.

Citroen trucks

 
 
 
 
A 2CV Fourgonnette delivery van. 1,246,306 made. Photographed in Tourbes France. This is one of the vehicles inspector Clouseau drove in The Return of the Pink Panther. 

 
 
 
The C15D. The front reminds me of a Dodge D50. 1,181,471 made.
They were made from 1984 to 2005. Photographed in Avignon France. This is one of my favorite vehicles in France.

 
 
 
 
A Citroen flatbed tow truck of some sort. Photographed in Nimes France. It's front end sort of looks like the Ice Cream van is the Jacques Tati movie Traffic.

 The Autobianchi A112. A car similar to the original Moris Mini. It is also called the Lancia A112. 1.2 million A112s where made. They where made from 1969 to 1986.

 
The Fiat Panda. A Lemon.
  
 The Renault 5 GTI. Another Lemon. It is similar to the Renault Le Car.

The Renault 4. It is similar to the Citroen 2CV "duh shuh vo". They were made from 1961 to 1992. It is also called the Renault R4. I don't quite know how many were made, but I do know that over a million were made.

The Peugoat Bipper

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

It probably has the zaniest name for a cargo van.
