Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the Citroen 2CV.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The 2CV celebrates its 60th birthday<\/a> during the Paris Motor Show, on 7 October 2008. To celebrate the event, Hermes has designed a made-to-measure outfit that highlights the vehicle’s ever-friendly and generous forms.<\/p>\n

The 1989 2CV 6 Sp\u00e9cial, repainted in brown, gains a natural leather trim on the door facings, interior rearview mirror, gear knob, steering wheel and driver’s sun visor. For an even more elegant finish, the two seats are upholstered in Herm\u00e8s grey-beige cotton canvas and natural leather. As a finishing touch, the bonnet and interior trim at the rear of the vehicle also feature Herm\u00e8s cotton canvas.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

Like the Automobile that marked the other end<\/em> of America’s industrial and economic world dominance, Henry Ford’s Model T,\u00a0the 2CV is available in any color you like. As long as, in this case,\u00a0it is brown.<\/p>\n

Exhilarating is one word that one might imagine could possibly come to mind considering the power under the bonnet. The little engine that could, a SOHC 602cc Twin,\u00a0breathes easy through a twin-choke carburetor and churns out an adequate\u00a029 horsepower at 6,750 rpm.\u00a0The 2CV’s 5.3 Gallon gas tank allows for a full week’s ration!<\/p>\n

Need to put on the binders? Sturdy drum brakes in the rear, and in a generous government factory upgrade since 1981, you’ll enjoy disc brakes in the front.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A comfortable but durable rear bench will allow for catnaps between your day job, wherewith you feed your children and pay the rent on your government-owned town home and your night job wherewith you pay your United Nations Income Tax, Grocery Loans and Global Warming Assessment.<\/p>\n

Savor the nostalgia of a vehicle introduced to the world in 1948; your very own piece of history! Enroll now for\u00a0subsidized 96-month financing offers and neighborhood Carshare Agreements\u00a0via government lottery selection.<\/p>\n
