    Well, at least both wagons can cannabalize each other, depending on which one gets a taillight put out first

    :Welcome:to the wagon train, DriverD. I love that Citroen! Always wanted one. Got talked out of one once because I was told they rust away easily. Don't know if it's true or not but it scared me away. Looks like you don't have any problem driving yours in the snow!:D

    @Hanswurst: Yep. The Panhard had non-standard taillights (and broken too) when I bought the car. Replaced these with lenses from the Citroën DS break.
    Bonus: Back-up lights. Great for backing up in the dark. :)

    @silverfox: We drive the Citroën through any weather. Today: Snow and salty roads. Great traction with winter-tyres.
    The wings and doors were affected by rust as I bought the car. It just had had a cosmetic respray.
    Wings can be bought new in fibre-reinforced plastic. Doors can be re-welded. So: Now worries. This car is just to great not to drive it. :thumbs2:

    Why are you driving such a rare car on salty roads? Do you like keeping busy replacing sheetmetal?

    :Welcome: Driver D...
    Some cool wagons there. That Panhard is unusual. I've seen a cool vintage fiberglass outboard runabout (boat) that actually looks similar to the Panhard. I could picture it being towed by it. (y)

    Hi Hanswurst,

    As I wrote:
    "Great traction with winter-tyres.
    The wings and doors were affected by rust as I bought the car. It just had had a cosmetic respray.
    Wings can be bought new in fibre-reinforced plastic. Doors can be re-welded. So: Now worries. This car is just to great not to drive it. :thumbs2:"
    The sheetmetal on a DS is very easily replacable. Wings and doors aren't welded, but bolted on.

    @Longroof79: Thanks! The boat behind the Panhard would be nice. :yup:
    or a bike on the roof:
