Deuch Wallpapers (Citroen 2 CV de 1976 à 1988)

"I want four wheels and a platform under an umbrella" said Pierre Boulanger, Citroen's MD, in the early '30s.

Thank you Amla for such a nice creation of yours. 2CV is a cool car and its history is really interesting.

As he drove out into the countryside and found himself stuck behind a horse and cart doing 0.0000001 Mph. "Bloody peasant!" he roared, "Buy yourself a car!" These may not have been his exact words, but an idea took root. The reason why rural farmers didn't own cars was that they were simply too expensive, and -- being aimed at the moneyed classes -- tended to be lavish walnut-and-leather affairs. In short, not the kind of car that would put up with half a ton of manure being shovelled into the boot on a regular basis.

He wanted a car that would carry two peasants and 100lb of potatoes, have a maximum speed of 60kmph (38mph) and do 100 kilometers per 3 litres of fuel (0ver 90mpg!). The car must also be capable of carrying a basket of eggs over a ploughed field without breaking a single one.

LOooooooool
