Citroën Camionette, Peugeot 504 & Bibendum

The most chic vehicles here in Wassenaar NL tend to hang out at Le Garage, a shop specializing in French autos. There's usually a bunch of aged Citroëns parked in the streets nearby. I caught this camionette while biking between my office at NIAS and home. Citroen did basic pretty well: these were the perfect small truck for Paris. The rear bumper is just a steel bar.



In a previous post I mentioned my admiration of Peugeot wagons. Ici, un 504.
