How can anyone possibly omit mentioning Citroën
The Citroën DS (French, pronounced roughly ''seat row en day ess'') is a four-door, front-engine, front-wheel-drive mid-size car manufactured and marketed by the French company Citroën from 1955 to 1975

Managed to one time own & drive this one below:

Yes ooo, that is Citroën, as kids we used to call this particular model frog eyes
Come to think of it and looking at it now, it even sits like a frog.
The fascinating thing about it, is when it's in water or a pot-hole, it lifts its rear end and rises up
- hydraulics


Swedish-spec Citroën DS with headlight wipers

Our dads & mums, back in the day, used to be head over heels in love of this old school Citroën DS model

1993 Citroën Xantia

C1 (2005–present) - a 4-seat, 3 or 5-door hatchback, city car with 1.3L petrol or diesel engine, developed in conjunction with Toyota as the Aygo.

C4 Picasso (2007–present) - a five-seater compact MPV
C4 Grand Picasso- (2007–present) - a seven-seater compact MPV

Berlingo (1996–present) - a panel van and leisure activity vehicle,

Berlingo Multispace is a small MPV

Wow! Cars used to look like frogs; but now they look like fishes and felines - just my personal observation. Meaning cars used to look timid, but now they look fierce in an in-your-face kinda way. What does that say about the overall mindset of humans in relation to time? I think we must be the boldest generation that has ever being. I think the fiercer looks are borne out of a crazy need to more than ever intimidate/one up other humans. Gonna stop now before I write a book because of some retro cars.
PS: Congrats, people! We're the vainest generation ever!!! Well, if that's an achievement you'd want to celebrate.

You are so on point bro smiley

Peugeot 404 was offered initially as a saloon, but pickup/convertible was added in 1962

May GOD continually BLESS the whites..
They have consistently led us through the echelons of developmental strides....
This is what honesty, hardwork, commitment and sincerity can bring...especially when one is detribalised.
