On the 7th October 1948, at the 35th Salon de l`Automobile, after a gestation period of 13 years, the 2cv was born. The press and public found the car very strange but irresistable. The car was however accepted as being well needed in austere post-war France, and when production started in earnest in 1949, demand was very heavy. Citroen had cornered a niche market, a market that other manufacturers did not know existed. The car was very comfortable, it could be driven up and down steps at 20mph, across ploughed fields. It rapidly became part of the fabric of French life. Farmers and country dwellers were the primary market, but town dwellers were also desperate to buy 2cvs. Demand exceeded supply.
