        Well if I can find anything of any use to folks I'm happy to oblige where practical.

        Here are the other pics that I took - the cars were locked up in a compound:



        I've seen a few 2CV's round this way - I assume they never made it to the US as an official import?

          If 2cv's made it here they didn't sell many of them, and most of them were junkyard fodder a long time ago. I know we got a few Citroen SM's and DS's, but there hasn't been a French car on the US market in 20 years. Even the Renaults we had in the 80's were built in Wisconsin.

                    The funny thing is that French cars generally do not have a great reputation for durability or reliability overall but for many years some Volvos were powered by Renault engines and you know how long they last

                      I am not bashing Wisconsin nor Renault...just the Alliance and Encore...the MotorTrend 193 car of the Year.
