More pictures of 2CV

 

Originally we named it CVCV (two CV) because that's the only plate we could think of that wasn't taken. Later after the re-paint and wood panels we coined TreeCV .


First Day we saw the car, somewhere in the Canadian Rockies. Sign in the window says A Vendre aka For Sale


 
The day we bought the 2CV, in Redmond, WA at my mother's house


 
Back in San Diego, at the Navy Base




and a local restaurant



All-alloy trailer I once had for it. Never really used the trailer for any travel but just for fun around town.



With my Bangkok-located, Slough-built 1955 2CV (it went to UK when we lived there, then to Germany, now in Seattle)



CVCV "driven" in Killer Tomatos Attack France film by Angela Visser, Miss Universe



Somewhere in the Pacific Northwest. Notice the travel trunk add-on for extra space on long trips (and annoying item stored in my garage for decades!)



Death Valley



Area 51 where the UFOs live



Lower Baja California, Mexico (it's not a trick photo



With the first Flying 2CV created by my friend Gary to be an eye-catching exhibit at the Paris Air Show.



This was the base car that became the flying 2CV. When it morphed into the camo version *(above) the wood panels went into Gary's garage. Then the Flying 2CV and the company it worked for were sold off.


Then he hounded me until I caved in and let him put them on CVCV. That's when we renamed it. Here shown in a Coronado parade.



First Presage Cronograph in TreeCV and the garage of my friend where it lived off and on (sharing space with Lotuses) for 6-7 years



The TreeCV neon sign


With our other econo-cars.



The end (as of now) but I am sure the story will continue for the future.
