  I must add one more interesting fact about the 2CV that no one has mentionned
yet: the first models didn't have a winshield wiper motor but used the speedo-
meter to drive them.  When the car was idle, the wipers would not run, and they
would operate faster as the car was moving faster. The speedometer was mounted
at the lower left corner of the winshield and was the only piece of instrumen-
tation aboard (there was no gas gauge either, but rather a dip stick...).
