Directly across from me at the bus stop this morning was the car I've wanted ever since I first saw one, a Citroen 2cv "deux chevaux" ("two horses") in the "Charleston" paint job. This one isn't in all that good shape - imagine the black and burgundy paint more intense and shiny and the graduated ivory striping framing the burgundy portion more filled-in - but you get the idea! Unfortunately, these don't meet safety regulations in the U.S. And since this version was made in the '60's (and they ceased production on the car itself in the late '80's), it's getting harder and harder to find one. But a girl can still wish upon a car!

I wish I had know of this longing! A dear friend of mine who is suffering with cancer finally had to sell her Deux Chaveaux last spring and it would have done her heart good to know you were going to love it... it was older and needed some work but oh so cute.

I haven't seen one of those weird looking cars in ages! I always though they looked like someone tried to make a copy of a VW Beetle in his basement workshop.
