The Citroen 2 CV Pick-Up Prototype - A Glimpse into History

The Citroen 2 CV, affectionately known as the "Duck," is an iconic model from the French automaker Citroen. Designed by engineer Pierre Boulanger in the late 1930s, the Citroen 2 CV went into series production after World War II in 1948. The first generation of this vehicle was produced from 1948 to 1990 and contributed significantly to the success of Citroen. Originally conceived as an economical small car, the model gained popularity for its simplicity and robustness. The 2 CV became a vehicle for the masses, suitable for both rural and urban environments. Technically, it featured a water-cooled two-cylinder boxer engine and impeccable suspension, providing a comfortable driving experience even on rough roads.

This modelcar in the collection of viper64 is one of currently 29.923 registered models on Modelly!

Design and Power of the Original

The Citroen 2 CV Pick-Up Prototype was an experimental version of the regular 2 CV, showcasing the versatility of this vehicle. The developers, including designer Flaminio Bertoni, aimed to create a lightweight and durable work vehicle. Weighing around 600 kg (1322 pounds) and powered by a modest but practical 9 hp engine, this pick-up was designed for economy and simplicity. Additional technical features of the original included a front suspension with trailing arms and a robust chassis suitable for various applications.

The loading area showcases the typical wooden plank look, and the wheel arches are perfectly replicated.
