The Citroën 2CV, or “Ugly Duck” as it is affectionately called, symbolizes simplicity, reliability and freedom. First introduced in 1948, this vehicle was designed with the aim of making the French population mobile in the post-war period. With its minimalist design and focus on functionality and economy, the 2CV quickly won the hearts of millions around the world. The car is not only an example of innovative design, but also of the democratization of mobility.
At Metropole Druten the legacy of the 2CV is celebrated with some of the most special models from its history, including the Citroën 2CV 1st Series and the Citroen 2CV AZ A2. These models represent the evolution of the 2CV over the years, from its humble beginnings to its status as a cultural icon.
The 2CV 1st Series marks the beginning of the journey of the 2CV, with its distinctive round shapes, canvas roof, and minimalist interior. This model reflects Citroën's original vision for a car that is affordable, easy to maintain, and accessible to the general public.
The 2CV AZ A2, a later iteration, built on the success of the earlier models by introducing improvements in comfort and performance, without compromising the fundamental principles of simplicity and functionality that defined the 2CV.
The Citroën 2CV was more than a car; it was a movement. The design responded to the needs of rural and urban environments, providing ample space for passengers and cargo, while remaining exceptionally fuel efficient and agile. The 2CV demonstrated that less can be more, a principle that still resonates in contemporary design and sustainability.
Metropole Druten offers car enthusiasts and history enthusiasts the opportunity to get up close to the legendary Citroën 2CV.
