This quirky European model looks just as strange today as it did upon introduction in 1948. Despite a top speed of 40 mph and a staggeringly low initial power output of 9 hp, over 5 million of these were produced through 1990.

The Citroen 2CV was exported globally but fared worst in North America, where its 71 mph top speed was ill-suited to the highway network.
