Prototype History:
The Citroën 2CV (French: pronounce "deux chevaux" i.e. "two fiscal horsepower", often nicknamed Deuche or Deudeuche) is an air-cooled front-engine, front-wheel-drive economy car, manufactured by Citroën for model years 1948–1990.

Conceived by Citroën before WWII as TPV ("Très Petit Véhicule", very small vehicle) to help motorise the large number of farmers still using horses and carts, the 2CV was only industrialised after the war and introduced at the 1948 Paris Mondial de l'Automobile. It has a combination of innovative engineering and utilitarian, straightforward metal bodywork — initially corrugated for added strength without added weight. The 2CV featured low cost, simplicity of overall maintenance, an easily serviced air-cooled engine (originally offering 9 hp), low fuel consumption, and an extremely long-travel suspension offering a soft ride and light off-road capability. The fixed-profile convertible bodywork featured a full-width, canvas, roll-back sunroof, which accommodated oversized loads and until 1955 reached almost to the car's rear bumper.

More than 3.8 million 2CVs were produced, along with over 1.2 million small 2CV-based delivery vans known as fourgonnettes. Citroën ultimately offered several mechanically identical variants including the Ami (over 1.8 million), the Dyane (over 1.4 million), the Acadiane (over 250,000) and the Mehari (over 140,000). In total, Citroën manufactured almost 9 million 2CVs and variants.
