27 July 1990 ¬ at 4 o°clock; the end of an era |
 |
The 2 CV production line in France closed in February
1989. With lifetime sales of 3,868,633 units, the last
2 CV came out of the Mangualde plant in Portugal on 27
July 1990 ¬ at 4 o°clock. This marked the end of the
production history of this legendary vehicle ¬ and the
beginning of a new story, that of the 2 CV and its fans
through Citro¥n clubs.

2CV Dolly |
 |
The ¿Dollyî versions were released in 1985, with two-tone
paintwork in original colour combinations, such as vanilla
and grey, green and black, and red and grey. ¿Victimsî of
their success, the ¿Dolliesî also became standard production
Citro¥ns.

2CV Charleston |
 |
The ¿Charlestonî opened the special series in 1981. With
its 30s look featuring round headlamps and bordeaux and
black body paint, the model was an immediate success.
It soon became a standard production model, listed in
the Citro¥n catalogue from 1982.

2CV Retro? |

Is the 2CV making

2CV, following the retro MINI and the retro Fiat 500.
You can downlod a - maybe too simple - paper model here.

Papercraft - Building your own paper car - hours and hours of fun......
On these pages you find relatively simple paper models of the
Citroen 2CV, in the various versions and various colors they
appeared on the market. Having children and driving a 2Cv myself, there was a growing demand to have a paper 2CV. I browsed the web but was not satisfied with the paper
models found, which were either beautiful
but complex (at least for a 5 year old) or a little overly
simplified. So I started to build one myself, keeping it
simple but with enough detail.
OK, I admit, I went a little overboard. You now find paper
models of 2CV AZ, AZU, AK250, AK350, AK400, the Dyane, the
2CV TPV, even a pick-up variant of the 2CV, and newly added
a 2CV 2007 Retro version. The Mehari is in preparation. It is fun to do. I simply
cannot stop.
For the 2CV, I tried to keep up with the major changes, as
much as detectable from the various Citroen
brochures. After boiling it down to about eight versions,
the question came what color to apply. A realistic one, preferably.
Luckily Cats
citroen pages and the
Dutch Ami association gave some indication about Citroen
colors (you can find lists of AC colors but your typical photoshop
has no clue). Together with
samples from photos (see for example this beautiful DS/ID
page, this impressive AMI
page, or this nice Dyane
page) of real cars - as far as the number was identifyable
- resulted in the still growing overview on this page. At the
moment there are over 100 AC colors and over 200 paper 2CV
models to download.
The list still is far from complete, and I appreciate
any help. Feel free to comment
and suggest additional colors and/or details by sending
me color samples and/or images. Images of paper 2CV you've build will be posted.
Enjoy
