Decorative ornament - Citroën 2CV - Italy

A historic Citroën, surprisingly long-lived and with great charisma, that left an indelible mark on the world of automobiles. Produced from 1948 to 1990—no less than 42 years of success— the 2CV (short for “deux-chevaux,” meaning two horses) was designed in the 1930s with the aim of creating a robust, practical, and economical car.
Born to meet extremely practical requirements, it had to transport four people and 50 kg of payload at a cruising speed of 50 km/h, adapting even to muddy, bumpy roads. It’s even said that one design parameter was the ability to cross a plowed field with a basket of eggs without breaking them, and to travel 100 km with only 3 liters of fuel.
Officially unveiled at the Paris Motor Show on October 7, 1948, the 2CV, as the years passed, became not just a car but a real cult—a sort of four-wheeled religion."}{
