Conceived before World War II by the Michelin-Citroën family, the French car, the 2 CV is memorable to everyone who has ever driven one.
From the bustling Champs-Élysées to the heart of the countryside in France and even in the suburbs of Saigon or San Francisco, the 2 CV is everywhere. It's been compared to practically everything except a car : to a two-wheeled sedan chair with an umbrella over it, to a can of sardines, and even to a camel (travelling long distances while conserving fuel). At home on dirt roads or in garages of the upper class, the 2 CV has succeeded in crossing all social and economic boundaries. It is the symbol of France to numerous foreigners and even to the French.
An off-beat car in "American Graffiti", the 2 CV was James Bond's car in "For your eyes only" and was even driven by Demi Moore in "Indecent Proposal". The 2 CV is everything Hollywood could ever dream of !
In this film we discover the true origins of the 2 CV and many of its interesting adventures.
