- Since I have been met with ultimate silence every time I ask about
- Citroens (someday, a CX _will_ be mine), I will post my little bit of
- knowledge. The 2CV has apparently changed quite a bit, at least in
- appearance, over the years. In the '30's it looked _nothing_ like the
- rather 'minimalist' 2CV made in the '70's. In the movie DIVA, there is a
- 30's-era 2CV.
