2CV grise

The "TPV" project

In 1937, Pierre Boulanger is the new boss of Citroën and decide to create a car for low incomes people. The project Very small car (Toute Petite Voiture in french) was born : a car easy to drive et without excess of comfort for saving money.
In 1939, 250 cars are assembled, then destroyed at the dawn of World War Two apart from a few protoypes. The first version (2CV type A) is presented in 1948 at Paris motor show in 1949 with a unique model and a single color available.
In 1954, the 2CV type A evolves into 2CV type AZ; it is equiped with a new engine 425cm3 and a centrifugal clutch.
In 1956, the 2CV type AZL is presented (L = luxe) with a windshield defrost, a lighted meter, a big rear window and chrome rods.
In 1957, Citroën releases the 2CV type AZLP (P = porte de malle) : the long cover leaves its place to a metal trunk door and a palstified cover.
In 1958, Citroën introduces the 2CV type AW / 2CV Sahara, 4x4 version with 2 engines.
In 1960, the types A and AU aren't commercialized anymore.
In 1963 appears the 2CV type AZA (A = amélioré) from the 2CV type AZLP : it has a more powerfull engine and a gearbow re-tiered.
The 2CV type AZAM is out in 1964 (more comfort) and the 2CV type AZAM Export is out in 1967; it's equiped with Ami 6 dashbord and is even more comfortable.
