COBI® Citroën™ 2CV Type AZ 1962

Produced and continuously improved in the years 1949-1990, the Citroen 2CV has become an icon of the French automotive industry. The car was designed before WWII. Its creation is associated with the need to produce a simple and cheap car for the masses, in line with the slogan of the company director Pierre Boulanger, "quatre roues sous un parapluie" (four wheels under an umbrella). The car was simple, economical and allowed for the comfortable transport of 4 people with luggage. Baptized as the ugliest car in the world at the Paris Salon in 1948, it became an object of desire, contrary to the critics' opinions. During its 41 years of production, nearly 4 million cars were produced in factories around the world. Today, this car holds an almost cult status and is prized by collectors. The AZ version of the car is a sedan with additional improvements. A characteristic feature was the detachable panoramic roof which could be rolled up.Using 82 COBI construction bricks, you can build a model of the Citroen 2CV type AZ which is impeccably reproduced in 1:35 scale.
