Citroën made these vans in France and Belgium from the late 1940s until 1981. Saw this one at the farmers' market in Wassenaar, NL.
I always admired the elegant
je ne sais quoi simplicity of these Peugeot wagons. They were popular in Montrèal quand j'etais jeune. Owning a French car made a political statement in Quebec in those days, though attitudes were complex, and a bit twisted:
adulation of anything
francais de France--even the tinny little Renault Cinq--was becoming popular amongst the Quebecois chattering class just as us thoroughly
colon anglos were finally ditching our fawning relationship to Mother England, her shoddy Austins, and her nonstarting Rovers.
