This is a pen and ink drawing of a Citroen 2CV6 (or deux chevaux), close-up below. I drove 2CVs for years, first a yellow one and then a red and grey one very like this. I had to get a "proper" car in the end because my sons were growing up and the additional weight in the back made it slow down too much. Not the most powerful of cars, or the most comfortable, but great fun.
I chose this as my offering for Rare, because they ceased production on 27 July 1990, so they are becoming more rare all the time.
I hasten to add that I did not do the drawing, it was Sonia Bignall, whose signature can just about be seen
That's a lovely drawing and how nice that you were able to obtain such a nice keepsake to remind you of the car you once drove.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely print! :) A wonderful keepsake of the cars you owned.
ReplyDeleteI love these cars! And that is a great drawing.
ReplyDeleteHappy Weekend!
Just dropping by (as you do). Well, OK, it was the May blossom that led me here. I thought you might enjoy this 2CV
ReplyDeleteThis car is so cute! It's unfortunate they stop its production ;) Your drawing is nice too!
ReplyDeleteWonderful "rare" post, cute car, great drawing.
ReplyDeleteEveryone is invited over to see my "rare" post too. Hope to see you there.
I like how it is a sketch! Cool! Great way to capture a great car.
ReplyDeletewe call this car Kacsa (Duck) in Hungary. Very rare to see...maybe thats why they awake attention of people immediately:)
ReplyDeleteYou are very talented! Thank you for sharing .. :)
ReplyDeleteoh my!
ReplyDeletethis drawing is wonderful!
im a student book designer, i think i can get an inspiration from this =)
hee hee
the car doesn't look it should have stopped production. it still looks cool
ReplyDeleteThis will be a treasure for you to remember that car! My family had a 57 Chevy, 4 door sedan when I was growing up. It was black. If we only knew then what we know now, we might have kept it.
ReplyDeleteThat's really interesting! Did they ever sell the cars here? I keep thinking I have seen one or two but I can't be certain. It certainly is a tiny little car.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I have ever heard of those. How neat to find a drawing similar to the one you had!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great little car and a terrific print. Excellent choice for The Hunt. Thanks for dropping by.
