A teacher in middle school used to say “if you don’t have anything nice to say, you might be a custom car critic” which makes more sense than the other nonsense the teachers would try and tell us. This next customized Citroen starts with a whaaaat is that pile on the hood and then continues […]
How much could it really cost to keep this classic Citroën on the road? Assume you live in a location where MOT (Ministry of Tribulations) inspections and smog requirements are nil — how hard would it be to get this car to the point where you could drive it to work on Fridays? Could you […]
Okay, we are going to be nice to this next car because we promised to stop kink shaming Citroën owners…but you gotta admit that there is something wrong with a car that has a single spoke steering wheel, hydro-pneumatic self leveling suspension, blinkers that don’t cancel when you turn, a cassette player mounted sideways between […]
Daily Turismo is always on the hunt for the weirdest, most obscure cars and this next kammback designed beauty is definitely one for the books. This French freak is a perfect example of why you shouldn’t trust anything made by the French (except for wine, of course…and cheese…and baguettes but that’s it). The Citroen CX […]
The Citroën 2CV was a French “people’s car” that provided simple mobility to the unwashed masses, with a staggering production that lasted from 1948 through 1990. However, that didn’t mean you couldn’t take an existing 2CV and cover it in spiffy bodywork and make it a three wheeled thing called the “Lomax”. Find this 1991 […]
The Citroën ID19 was a cheaper and lower powered version of the Citroen DS (pronounced Déesse as the French word for goddess) sold from 1957-1975. The ID used the same body as the basic DS, but was sold at a cheaper price point for those who still wanted the Bertoni and Lefèbvre designed body but […]
I was just watching an old episode of my favorite tv show (The Grand Tour) and those funny British guys were skewering French car culture…and it made me think, perhaps I would enjoy owning a French car. And then I remembered how expensive divorce can be and decided to share this Citroën with you guys. […]
I featured a pile of rusting Citroea the other day instantly regretted the decision. There is nothing more expensive than a cheap Citroën, so to make amends with the Francophiles in the room, I’m featuring this righteously sweet DS with a sharp coat of paint and what appears to be functioning oleopneumatics…for now. Find this […]
The Citroën SM was a shock when it hit the Geneva Motor Show in early 1970. It was the first performance oriented car from a French manufacturer since before WWII and it was completely bonkers. The Maserati sourced V6 engine was mounted behind the front wheels, but it put power forward and just about every […]
This next car comes as a tip from Hugh who writes: I missed the memo about Boxing Day cars, did you remember to send it? I know an old Deux Chevaux sounds like either one less than a ménage a trois but with horses or ducks on a Chevy, no wait that would be an […]
