Hi Bob,

Ah, the little 2CV. I was stationed in France in the early 60's; you could not bring them onto the base or register them on the base. They were considered unsafe.

Well, they did only have three lugnuts per wheel. :yikes:

And one per steering wheel,

Considering there is a steam boiler between your legs, I think there were real heat issues. Yes, this vehicle is steam powered.

I wonder if it was legal in Texas.
