Cobi 24512 - Citroen 2CV Charleston 1980

Produced and improved continuously in the years 1949-1990, Citroen 2CV became an icon of the French automotive industry. The car was designed before the war. Its creation is connected 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 maximally simplified, economical and allowed for 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 41 years of production, nearly 4 million copies were produced in factories around the world. Today, this car has the status of a cult and is a treat for collectors. In 1980, the premiere of a special version of the iconic Citroen 2CV car took place! Limited Charleston was made in only 8,000 copies! The car was distinguished by its attractive, characteristic two-color body and interior trim.
