Used to have a Citroen CX in the 70's, what a heap of crap it turned out to be. 7 years old and sent to the scarp yard full of rust. Just about the only thing that never went wrong with it was the fancy suspension. Hate them. put me in a lot of debt and took forever to recover. Just seeing a picture of one puts me in rage mode.

This French one-off from 1928 listen to the name 'Christiane-Huit'; as you can tell, driver safety was minimal at best!

The Christiane Huit is a one-off, built by Angé Andrieux,
an aeroplane builder, which we recognise in construction details.
The name is inspired by his daughter listening to the name Huit,
not his eighth child. Andrieux engaged in Formula-1 races
in 1928. Wings never have been an option. Nor doors.
