Citroën 2CV6 Charleston

The Citroën 2CV is an iconic economy car produced between 1948 and 1990. The 2CV was created to motorize the farmers, which were still using horses and carts. The 2CV has a combination of innovative engineering and straightforward, utilitarian bodywork. The 2CV featured overall low cost of ownership, simplicity of maintenance, an easily serviced air-cooled engine (originally offering 9 hp), and minimal fuel consumption. In addition, it had literally been designed to cross a freshly plowed field, because of the great lack of paved roads in France then; with a long-travel suspension system, that connects front and rear wheels, giving a very soft ride. Michelin introduced and first commercialized the revolutionary new radial tyre design with the introduction of the 2CV. Between 1948 and 1990, more than 3. 8 million 2CVs were produced, making it the world's first front-wheel drive car to become a million seller This version of the 2CV, the 2CV6, features the largest 602 cc engine, with an output of 29hp. Charleston is the name of the two tone color scheme. This DCB replica replicates the platform chassis, and unique interconnected leading and trailing arm suspension. The springs are mounted in tubes on the side of the chassis. The tube itself is also mounted to springs, meaning it can move backwards and forwards. When the front wheel goes over a bump, it pulls the spring tube forward, which pushes the rear wheel down, preventing pitch motions.
