Fabrication des 2CV à l'usine Citroën de Mangualde

Very interesting build process. It appears to be mid-60s, not 1948, but at one point they drag the upsidedown body shell around like a sled.

These would make an easy rat rod, take off the hood and fenders and turn the headlight bar upsidedown [see thumbnail].

Or a pop-up camper, the whole top is open to the rear bumper.

The Citroën 2CV was made until '90 in Portugal, and I guess its assembly was not much automation-friendly as for newer cars. Just like the '93 through '96 relaunch of the Beetle in Brazil, requiring a comparably larger workforce amount for each car assembled.

I've been looking at the work of Vaughn Ling. This is my favorite so far:

Especially the dirty storrage bins over the rear wheels.

Don't know why I like this so much. maybe it's the headlights.

Looks like the cabin was repurposed from a Ford Model A.

I saw this today in the BRING parking lot. 2001 Lincoln.







I like bobbers. The 'I identify as a Geo Metro' is just icing on the cake.

There is a car down the way with an Anya Forger sticker in the back window.
