Here the cars...:

As for the Citroen:

As standard, the car was delivered without a hood ornament. If you wanted one, you had to buy it separately!

Since not many customers did that in France, this figure - called "Selecteuse" - is extremely difficult to get today. Unless you pay "moon prices" for it.




I am searching for an original "Selecteuse" for many years...

Cheers

That was in the time when peoples were making cars, the ones who let you at the corner of the street with glimmering lights of happyness in your eyes

Selecteuse
