 2CV fourgonnette 60 years
The 2CV van was first introduced in March 1951 so it´s time to celebrate the 60th birthday of this beautiful creature. Let's raise a glass or perhaps a whole fourgonnette if available....

 Re: 2CV fourgonnette 60 years
I have a van from ´54 with open springs, push insted of pull they where made for about 4 month, it drives like a rocking horse. I still have to restore it onetime...... new sills and floors and rear beam......... But it is totaly original no side windows and little windows in the backdoors.

 Re: 2CV fourgonnette 60 years
See, the van is already on feet, some work left, though.  That was last summer, now it is waiting the snow to melt (still 65 cm to go). Comparing the right dimensions:  Regards from Finland. Jukka http://www.sitruuna.com/2cvstuff/
