The Deux Chevaux is roughly the same age as the Beetle, with
genuine 4 doors, far more suspension travel, and although the
engine was more miniscule, [28 vs 36 hp] performance of the
originals was similar due to the far lighter weight. Top speed
75 mph, 80-90 with a good tailwind.
Allegedly the two shared a common origin of concept, although
the 2CV looked more like a Beetle done by an artist with a severe
drug problem. And the Beetle never had driver adjustable headlamps
to my knowledge.
And if you didn't mind being blown off by the local turtles,
snails, and molasses, the offroad performance was superior to
pretty much all of today's mall cruising crossover "SUV" wannabe's.
I dare say as many 2CV's have crossed the Sahara as Jeeps.
And definitely more 2CV's made it across the original Paris-Kabul
Rallye route than Jeeps. [1]
[1] Well, of course, only Citroens were allowed to enter the original.

I don't think I ever got a really good look at one because of the
smoke cloud most of them ran around in.

Re: New Jeep tops
That was the first site to come up with the Jeepster I was looking for. I
have a book around here somewhere but I just didn't feel like scanning it.
My picture is black and white anyway. At any rate, that is the one, the
only Jeepster model with the "real convertible top," ¿no?
Besides, I have French relatives, I grew up around French, and I happen to
think that the French government did the right thing last year. I also have
a little French flag that I wear pinned to my béret, but I think that you
all know that already.
