The Atlas Dinky Toys No. 500 Citroën 2CV 1966 is a beautiful replica of one of the most iconic French cars: the Citroën 2CV. This model was produced by Atlas as a tribute to the original Dinky Toys, which are beloved by collectors of classic miniatures.
The real Citroën 2CV, popularly known as the "Ugly Duckling" (or "Deux Chevaux" in French), was first introduced in 1948. The 1966 model represents a later stage in the development of the 2CV, with improved technology and comfort. The 2CV was a symbol of simplicity, affordability and robustness, making it a popular car for both city and country use.
The Dinky Toys version of the 2CV captures this simplicity and characteristic design perfectly, with an eye for detail and craftsmanship. This example is in very good condition and comes with the original box and a French brochure, making it a sought-after item for collectors of classic French cars and vintage toy models.
