I'm sure someone will come along and explain the anomoly. Just a thought - could it be an early 4 light one (which had front hinged doors), with the later rear windows added?

Thinking about it, it is possibly a Belgian build - I believe they had the rear quarter windows before the French adopted them.

I was going to suggest that. The image was taken somewhere in NL.

Yes, it must be a Belgian made one, many of which were exported to the Netherlands. The 6 light model, the '2CV AZL3 Limousine' was the 'luxury' model built several years before the French factory added the extra windows. The drowned one must have been made between 1957 and 1959 as the rear wing shape was changed then.

Info from here - https://www.citroenet.org.uk/foreign/belgium/belgium1.html#:~:text=Production of the 2CV in,the AL became the AZL.

New shaped rear wings fitted in 1959.

I think the info is wrong on the Citroen site.

No m8, Citroen experts are never, ever wrong about anything, how dare you even suggest it!🙂  Lots of variations on the Belgian ones though.  Some more info here.  Cats Citroën Net 2cv Belgium History (cats-citroen.com)  .

I did more looking on the interwebs and found that there are many different types of Belgium 2CV. Initially I though they all had lights mounted on the rear wings, but then found the info on the AZL 3 that you posted.

Here's the type I am familiar with.

[Mr Pastry]

Yep I think it must be an AZL3 from 1958.

'Mmmm, yes I think you're correct, we should have specified a shorter bolt'

East Side, Noo Yoik, 1959.

Forgot to add: this is an iPhone picture of a 1920's postcard that my MiL has found in their stuff. It has an internal,  concertina'd array of local pictures from where I now live

There is loads going on in that photo.

More: The Hillman in lane 2 has it's boot slightly open.

The roof rack of on the Cortina to the left is not located squarely on the roof.

There is a Reliant 3 wheeler acting as a bonnet mascot for the Transit in lane 3.

Where is that? Are they toll booths or security check points at the square at the top?

Is the entrance to a road tunnel? I don't recognise the city.
