Gorgeous! Believe it or not, I saw one at a New Jersey hot rod show with a 350 Chevy V8 in it. Only in Jersey!  I really love ~2CVs~ and hope to own one some day.

No laughter here, Mickey. A beautiful and innovative car.

Gorgeous! I really love ~2CVs~ and hope to own one some day. I would like to get a 2CV also, I hear the prices are reasonable, seen them on ebay... but out here people are asking more then I believe there are worth. Not as nice looking as the Traction Avante....... but still brings a smile !!

I have not seen one in our neck of the woods...... A few 2CV's, But nothing with those lines.
Are you going to bid?? there is actually one of them in my neighborhood. Belongs to a local mechanic. I understand that he has a few more interesting cars hidden away. the one for sale on E-bay looks nicer than his but he uses it on a regular basis

from the ad: "It was the car of choice for the French Revolution during WWII." I always thought that the French Revolution was a few hundred years before WWII! Guess that is why I am not an historian

Ok guys.....I'll sacrifice for the cause and go see it! I know, I know....it's a perilous undertaking but I'll put myself in jeopardy!  I am in total agreement on the aesthetics this car. I'll let you know how it is "in person"!

Crude, bog slow, French. But I've always liked them - I guess because of their jaunty appearance. (As a Maigret fan I'm forced to like them anyway.) Saw one being driven in a highway rest area last summer. First three descriptors about sums it up fer me.
