Can anyone ID this car manufactuer's logo?

[denoir 0]

While I can't see the logo in that picture, it looks very much like a Citroën car design.

Edit: Looks similar to this:

- A 1960 Citroën 2CV (picture from Wikipedia)

Edit 2: Yepp, that's it.

Citroën 2CV Van

Yes, it's a Citroën 2 CV based "bread van" .

It didn't exist during WWII in any other form than two prototypes hidden from the germans in a barn.

For your (if you are from non European countries) information the 2CV is what made ordinary people enjoy motoring in France - much in the same way the Fiat 500 enabled the italians to move about - and a bit later the germans and the VW Beetle.

Thank you

I'll just pretend it carried Nazi bread after the war...

........and Inspector Closeau/Peter Sellers chasing the bad guys at the cotes d'azur in a yellow one

I love the 2CV and many other french cars for that matter.

Damn, I already though it was that one (I know at least one driving in my city with a matching trailer), but indeed the car-logo was different and I thought it couldn't be that one.

The only car you can break into with a box cutter..

We actually had one of those when I was a kid, damn they were COLD in finnish -15C winter.

Maybe due to the speeding nun of "les Gandarme de Saint Tröpez" .

[bonko the sane 2]

the last 2CV were made here in portugal, theres a huge mass of 2CV followers around these parts.

I owned one (a van like that) in normandy, old and falling apart, but nothing can compare to doing 3 wheel turns with the car filled with a lot of people, or escaping from the gendarmes through cornfields, that thing is a regular jeep

Hahaha that sounds cold    Do you remember the sound of the engine. THAT is a sound you don't forget! Actually, a twin engined Sahara model (also slightly modified) is taking part in this years Paris-Dakar:

Anyway, it's tragedy we hardly see cars like that anymore.

Remember this:

Oh, and the most beautyful car in the world - the DS:

For the youngest forum members out there - keep in mind this car was made from 1955! ! ! !

That is a very nice car.

I'm sure if the 2CV that I saw would be much nicer if it was spruced up but it's been sitting there for a long time. It is not in very bad shape at all though.

I'd like to get a UAZ (whether it's a 69 or the nice civillian version) or a GAZ one of these days...

Hmmmm......when thinking about it - the car you are looking for - could it be the Citroën HY perhaps:

No it was a 2CV.

That kind of looks like one WWII truck that I know of, I'll get a pic tommorow (today) as I have to sleep now.

You could still find 4L's at the Vente des domaines sales until very recently. I don't know if all the stocks have been sold yet though.

(the vente des domaines is the name given to the sales of government goods such as former utility cars, office furniture and such)

You can find decomissioned french military vehicles at the Ventes des domaines. I remember a large batch of tan 4L's and some old TRM's

By the way, the 2CV was designed with some rather specific criterias in mind: to transport the rural french farmer and his wife, a basket of eggs and a pig over the field. And from there on it was a succes!

yes, and the car had to be able to do this without breaking the eggs. That's why it has such 'great' suspension. Not a joke
