Those are such funny-looking cars, as if only a Mother can love.....

Looks great, I bet you get a ton of comments!

A fine looking car you've got there.

I've always wondered what it's like to drive one....

Well, it is not a manual driven car. It is stick shifting or how you called it. Maybe newkdf can take some pictures from inside the car?
Last year I had the luck to drive one! It is amazing!

I love Citroens!!! I actually had a 58 2CV in high school and a 63 ID19 about 2 years later. THat was the most comfortable car I have EVER driven. My brother has a 2CV truckette and also a charleston just like yours right now....Very nice!!

I always found driving the 2CV a cross between a tin can on 4 wheels and a go kart.....A friend of mine put a little too much weight on one of the doors and folded it in half with very little effort. The 4-speed dash shift is always fun!!!
