Citroën 5CV Cloverleaf Type C - 1922
André Citroën started business as a gear manufacturer and it was not until 1919 that he produced his first car. The 5CV was introduced in 1922 with the Cloverleaf bodywork, an 856cc engine with a detachable cylinder head, quarter-elliptic springs all round and coil ignition. Though somewhat slow and lacking good brakes, the Cloverleaf gained its reputation for being virtually indestructible.
