2cv celebrates 60 years in 2008 and a new model might be on the way


In 1948, the world was presented to one of the most famous and interesting European cars ever, the Citroën Deux Chevaux or 2CV. In 2008, the car celebrates its 60th anniversary and there is a possibility that a new version will be built in 2009, specially after what happened with the resurrection of other famous models such as VW Beetle, Fiat 500 and the Mini. But there is nothing official yet. Let’s hope to see if that happens during the international meeting of 2cv friends that will take place in the Czech Republic in July 2009.
