Biggest snowstorm since 2011 for the twin cities metro today. On my commute home I came up on this old gem cruisin with wiskey plates white walls and no rear window. Can anyone identify what type of car it is?

there's an "oldy and moldy!" 2 cylinders, 3 lug bolts, and one spoke on the steering wheel. ![]() it's a wonder that it is running let alone in a blizzard.

It's a 2cv, 9hp and 1,300lbs... I think our Metro's are a little over powered at ~50-70hp and 1,700-2,100lbs |

Wow if its the original engine wow it was going 30-40mph in some snow were i was limited to about 50 with the metro and snow tires, there were some pretty good ruts out there. I went thru two snow bank ruts that had too have been 12” or better deep and packed hard by the sound of it rubbing on the bottom of the car. I got a feeling my frame brace helped me by breaking it up a little as i plowed thru. My engine bay and front grill is pretty packed today. |

a beautiful Citroen 2CV! as important to the French as the Model T was to America. prototypes were hidden from the Nazis during its development though WW2. I would buy one if I had the space. here is the 2CV prototype called TPV (toute petite voiture) ![]() Edited by suzukitom, Jan 23 2018, 02:02 PM.

My GF had one back in the mid 80s. Loved it. Not fast or flashy, but fun. |
