The Citroen 2CV, In Germany and Austria usually called duck and in Switzerland doschwo, was a popular model by the French car manufacturer Citroen with an air-cooled two cylinder 4 stroke boxer engine and front wheel drive.
Between summer 1949 and the mid of 1990, 3868631 four door sedans and 1246335 delivery cars were produced.
From 1960 until 1968, 694 units of a special version with two engines and all-wheel drive called Sahara were built.
Development began in the mid 1930s already, but because of the outbreak of WWII it was not before 7 October 1948 that the 2CV was finally presented to the public in Paris.
Although the minimalistic car was not really taken serious by the automotive press in the beginning, in the following decades it became one of the most famous French car models.
