World’s softest car ride and best egg-protector was way back in 1948: the French Citroën 2CV

Spread the love

This humble little French car, designed for rural farmers, primitive 1930s dirt roads, and bumpy fields, had an incredibly smooth ride and, with its canvas roof and trunk, a farmer could take the canvas off and transport fence posts, lumber, even a sheep or cow to market. 😉

I drove in one of these in 1977 from Kufstein, Austria to Munich, Germany to visit the astounding German Museum. It took only five minutes to reach 60 mph. 😉

Of course, they cannot say that, except for 1) its amazing suspension, where the clever Frenchies definitely kicked our German butts, and 2) the radial tire, a big innovation back in 1948 (with the famous tire-maker Michelin controlling Citroen), the Citroën 2CV was based largely on our VW Beetle, because, you know, the originator of THAT car had gassed six trillion jews and started WWII to “conquer the world” (which the jews, a race of sensitive poets, would never do. 😉 )

Oh — and the VW creator also “invaded” France, after, err, well, actually… it and England had sort-of declared war on him. 😉

(“Poles smash into East Prussia,” eh? LOL!)

“Zis, in ze bäck, iss ze portable gas chämber!” “Oh, wunderbar!” 

Wiki:

Both the design and the history of the 2CV mirror the Volkswagen Beetle in significant ways. Conceived in the 1930s, to make motorcars affordable to regular people for the first time in their countries, both [the VW Beetle and the Citroen 2CV] went into large-scale production in the late 1940s, featuring air-cooled boxer engines at the same end as their driven axle, omitting a length-wise drive shaft, riding on exactly the same 2,400 mm (94.5 in) wheelbase, and using a platform chassis to facilitate the production of derivative models.

You can smell the Zyklon!

Just like the Beetle, the 2CV became not only a million seller, but also one of the few cars in history to continue a single generation in production for over four decades.

But the Citroen 2CV, called the “Ugly Duckling” (“die hässliche Ente” ) by Germans, was an amazing car in its own right, with an amazingly smooth ride, designed to “not break a basket of eggs while driving over ruts in a field,” and getting an incredible 95 miles per gallon (2.5 liters per 100 km)!

Note on composing comments under my articles:
I am tired of editing misspelled words and uncapitalized names and proper nouns (the names of persons, cities, rivers and countries). I do know they no longer teach cursive. The way people type today is literally how Deep South negroes and the mentally retarded spelled fifty years ago. 😉
Whites are a detail race, a race of careful craftsmen.
1. If you recommend a book, then send a link.
2. If in your mind you are „too busy“ to check your comment for flaws before hitting the „send“/“publish“ button, then please abstain. I cannot keep on editing your sloppy typing; I cannot approve comments that were dashed off by someone on a caffeine buzz who needed urgently to go wee-wee. 😉 That sloppiness and lack of diligence I see in so-called Millennials actually is a kind of subtle disrespect both for you yourself and for all my readers. Be Aryan: strong and conscientious!

The royal Frederiksborg Castle, north of Copenhagen, from an era when Norway and Denmark were under one king

The royal chapel, beautiful but empty, as with most Christian churches in western, central and northern Europe. This is an incredible waste of space, money and beauty at a time when Whites desperately need spiritual guidance but do not find it in the churches or their semitic stories. Christianity has been dead in most of Europe for generations — just as I foresaw and said would eventually happen in Table Talk at Führer Headquarters.

“Ramund” (hin unge) is a Danish folksong from around the 1600s. I am playing a nyckelharpa, an ancient Swedish instrument. It started to storm as I played. “Ramund” has around 20 verses, and there are different versions written down. It is mainly about Ramund, a man who goes to battle with the Jætter / trolls and then sails to the emperor to take his daughter to marry and then decapitates the emperor.
