The French got there first. Let's hear it for Citroen.

This model is a bit too goofyย  for me despite being a very practical design. Theoretically, I know it could actually work as a 1:1 (and work well ).ย  ย Why were they built?ย  For dealers, racers?ย  How many were built?ย  Oh, those crazy Frenchmen!ย  ๐Ÿ˜€ ๐Ÿ™„ ๐Ÿ˜€ย

I found one that is even more 'goofy' (four doors) but it is being used to transport a very interesting car

@franklemireย  Yes, an interesting "couple"ย  for sure. Shelby would be proud, nonetheless.ย  The integrity of that French-built (I assume ) FWD frame is impressive!

@chris What I would really like is to find a photo of it transporting a French race car of the 1960's

Did someone say "Goofy Citroen?"ย  How about 11 wheels, 4-wheel steering, and twin Corvette engines?ย
