Snapshot from a past summer vacation

The Citroën 2CV went out of production in 1990 after 42 years. A very interesting automobile. The hydraulic suspension was very soft and soaked up many bumps while driving. The scary thing for many Americans was the extreme body lean while taking a corner at speed.
The 2CV only had two cylinders but could hold its own in traffic.
AI just could not get the radiator correct. For an aftermarket radiator it is OK, but an OEM one has the Citroën chevrons.
The paint should be that strange blue gray or Burgandy color, but again AI insisted on lime green or day glow orange. So, red it is.

When I lived in Argentina [2010], they were still on the road and beloved.

Once in a very great while I see one on the roads here. They were fun cars to zip around in.

Known by enthusiasts as ‘Deux Chevau’, for obvious reasons, they were quite popular over here too - and almost always in that strange blue colour.
You could conjure-up the chevrons?

Good 'ole AI would put the chevrons on the hood, door, or over the windscreen. Everywhere but on the radiator where they belong.
My father lusted for a DS21 Citroën. One of the finer examples of what an automobile could be.
