Since far before the second war the importer of Citroën had its offices and showroom on the Stadionplein, at the beginning of the Amstelveenseweg. On the various occasions when I made a ride in one of the models I headed for the road along the Bosbaan through the Amsterdamse Bos. I never owned a Traction Avant but made rides with acquaintances and friends, and I never owned a 2CV, although this car for most was the first car in their automotive career. My first car was an Austin Se7en, which I at the time regarded as a more serious proposition, and more my kind of avant-garde. In my early years I had seen the Traction with DS suspension on the rear wheels, and read a fantastic road test in Autovisie that later triggered me to buy a DS as soon as this was possible. After all the years that went by so swiftly I read the book by Gijs Berk on Citroën’s designer André Lefebvre, which made me realize the magic as a leading motive in all Citroëns. If I only had the chance go that route once more, without diverting to another marque! I never took photos on those first rides, being too busy to acquaint myself with the character of the automobile that was new for me at the time. But since I dreamt up the possibility to make a photo of a 2CV in combination with a GT as the latest probe in way-out new designs for the future, as a tribute to the marque. HADW |
