1969 Citroen Mehari: Plastic Party

There are few cars that put a smile on my face more easily than the Citroen Mehari. I spotted one years ago at an auction in New Hampshire and have been captivated by them ever since. This just-discovered example is a… more»

Keep Portland… Citroen!

From Matt K. – This past weekend I was in Portland Oregon enjoying a weekend away with my wife. We found these Citroen’s in Southeast Portland. Of particular interest is the legendary DS 21 otherwise referred to in France… more»

1988 Citroen 2CV: Low Mileage Survivor

While this Citroen was built in 1988, you would think it was built in the ’50s, but that’s likely because these cars didn’t change much over their 41 year production run. This example is one of the final versions… more»

46 Years In A Barn: 1954 Citroen 11

Thanks to reader Olaf E. for this Dutch find! After 46 years in a barn in Friesland, Netherlands, this Citroen Traction Avant was recently revived with new brakes, lights, and a tuneup (if I believe Google translation!) The body… more»

1957 Citroen 2CV For $2,500!

About 10 years ago I remember seeing one of these. It was parked in front of a strip mall and was painted up with Little Caesars Pizza logos. It was an effective sign, but one day it disappeared. Up… more»

Gallic Truck: 1965 Citroen 2CV

This 1965 Citroen has been sitting in this garage since 2004, when it was imported from France. The seller tells us it ran “real good” at the time and they have put a new exhaust on it since then… more»

Easily Operational: 1972 Citroen SM

We haven’t featured a Citroen SM for a while, so I thought this one deserved a mention. The hydropneumatic suspension, Maserati engine, and French styling scare a lot of people off, but these are awesome machines. They competed with the best luxury… more»

Rusty and Crusty: Citroen 2CV

I’m honestly not sure if this 2CV is worth restoring, and it’s awfully rusty, but it sure looks fun just the same! It’s currently in Medway, Massachusetts, and is being auctioned here on eBay where bidding is substantially less than… more»

1985 Citroën Mehari: Party on Wheels

I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not a good candidate to own a Jeep. I’ve got nothing against them, personally, but I just don’t quite have the bravado to use one to its full potential. And it’s… more»

1952 Citroën Traction Avant: Game-changer

If you open almost any book about achievements in automotive history, the Citroën Traction Avant will likely grace at least one page. These front-drivers were considered revolutionary in their day, both for the drivetrain configuration and the ample space… more»

1970 Citroen DS: Grandpa’s Au Revoir

It’s rare to find these classic Citroens in working condition when they do pop up, and restored ones are commanding a serious premium as of late. This 1970 example here on eBay is cheap at the moment, with no… more»

Huge Citroen DS Stash!

The boys over at Bring a Trailer just featured this stash of Citroen DSs and I thought it deserved a mention here too. There are about 40 cars and prices range from $1k to $4k depending on condition and… more»

Franco-Italian Wonders: Two Citroen SMs

My introduction to the Citroen SM was reading an Automobile Quarterly article on the SM in 1970. I thought it was a concept car, nothing that sleek could actually be a production car, right? Not only did Citroen produce… more»

Fearless Frenchie: 1961 Citroën ID-19

The cars that tend to catch our eyes often fall into two categories: specimens that are destined for curator-like care to ensure their history is preserved, and long-forgotten projects that neither run nor drive and often have more than… more»

Blank Canvas: 1955 Citroen 2CV

The Citroen 2CV has long been a fascination of mine. Next door to my grandmother was a Lebanese family that owned a red one for many, many years. The car resided in the basement of the home in the… more»

1974 Citroen SM in Idaho

It may not look like much today, but this Citroen SM was once one of the grandest touring cars of them all. It combined the smooth riding suspension of Citroen’s famous DS with a Maserati V6. Sounds exotic, doesn’t… more»
