Bonnet mascot duly noted!
The irrepressible 2CV. They are really quite awful things...but it is almost impossible not to admire them.
In a way, it's a shame they are not around anymore. Probably the nearest thing to a modern day Vintage car. Always brings a smile.
Oui? |

Also begs the question how the cars on top and behind the cab were loaded...?

Probably more important to know how they are unloaded!! i expect they used ramps after disconnecting the rear trailer with the other two cars on.

Ray, may I respectively disagree about 'really quite awful things'. For those who appreciate good design (by which I mean engineering, not 'styling') they are a masterpiece.
Unlike VW Beetle's which are an abomination!
I've owned two of each, by the way

I have now found a caption saying it was the occasion of a driving test failure in 1958 so I think that still keeps it on the cusp, unless it was Pre-October.
