Theme Tuesdays: Low Citroens
You guys can thank Ollie for this weeks Theme Tuesday as he is the one who introduced me to the crazy world of Citroen 2CV’s which ultimately lead to today’s post.
Despite the unique (odd) suspension design of Citroens, the 2cv specifically, people drop them just the same.
Further proof that if you build it someone will slam it.
Rat, meets Cali, then France
Another Cali/rat collaboration
I ran across this one quite a bit, it could almost pass for a bug
Same car small changes
No fender gap
This truck conversion is sick
Hard to tell what wheels those are but they are a perfect fit
Sick trio, the build of the olive one is an interesting read
Laying, frame, rocker? Not sure with these lol
Video of the above in action:
American trends alive and well in this car
Another one I came across quite a few times while looking
Just cuttin the lawn
Racing
Just as people will drop anything you build people will also race anything you build.
Some CV's battling it out
Not sure how much of this is actually original anymore but sure looks wild
Wonder how fast these are...
I am guessing the original suspension has been tossed
The areo gives them a real wagon/panel van look
Off road!!
Other Citroens
After knocking around on some Citroen forums I came across these other Citroen’s which were are not 2cvs but still interesting.
Low Dyna
Slammed Dyane
Love the one air brushed panel on this one
Chillin with a 2CV
Low pair of Cits
V8
Some crazy person is even trying to put a v8 under the hood of a 2CV which I think is a whole lot wilder (and less sacraligious to Ferrari lovers) than the Ferrari 2cv.
Reminds me of Herbie the love bug
Oh man, this looks like a crazy amout of fun
Chicks dig em
Or at least get em stuck.
A little reward for those of you who made it all the way down here haha
Thanks to Ollie for a lot of these photos and snail.s4.bizhat.com

I love citroen’s, living in the states you rarely see any at all (at least in Pennsylvania anyway), on the 2CV pickup, those wheels I believe are CCW’s…but I’m not 100% sure. Looking forward to more citroen posts, although I hope they involve some SM’s and DS’s
I think I have seen one Citroen in person. It was not a 2CV however.
i love ds’s and toa lesser extent sm’s but i love H’vans and duex chaoux’s (i think thats how its spelt) the moast because there not pipe dream cars if you live in europe there super cheep stupidly easy to fix and mod and unless you want to go drifting or in fact fast (apart from off road) then thay cant realy be beaten hay you never know now THE MAN is trying to stop you importing jdm cars in to canada maybe euro rides (but not euro style cos its wank unless you go retro) will be the next big thing lol
NICE ONE DAVE
I’ve seen 2 2CVs. One in Mississauga and one getting on the the 401 at Kennedy. Yes the dude was going on the highway in a 2CV. I’d feel unsafe driving around in a parking lot. I’d definitely take one though.
I hate to say it but I don’t find these attractive at all. It looks like they tried to copy the Bug and failed.
@will, the styling might not be pleasurable to some, but these cars were essentially more of a “people’s car” than the beetle. The 2CV was always much cheaper…even in Germany
nice one joe
