2CV by Playmobil: Emission-Free Duck for the Children's Room
The Citroën 2CV, also known as the "Duck," returns 75 years after its market launch, as a result of a partnership between the brands Citroën and Playmobil. The legendary 2CV will be presented at the Rétromobile in Paris and the Toy Fair in Nuremberg and is available at Playmobil in a new version with a revolutionary technical data sheet. With 0 g CO2 emissions at the tailpipe thanks to muscle power, a low weight of around 302 g, and a length of 284 mm, the Playmobil 2CV transports young and old from 5 to 99 years with joy into the wonderful world of their imagination or childhood memories. Designed to be robust for the countryside and just as comfortable in the city, the 2CV symbolizes a colorful era, the manufacturer enthuses.
Additionally, the Duck comes in an extensive box accompanied by several figures, including a farmer with two milk jugs who is joined by his geese along with a pig, symbolizing rural life, a driver in a striped sailor outfit, and finally a policeman reminiscent of the legendary gendarme from French films. The model car offers space for four passengers and comes with an original interior, an opening tailgate, the characteristic front headlights, and a removable roof. The headlights can be switched between clear and yellow. The included sticker sheet features four different country plates and a wide selection of cheerful sticker motifs that can be used to individually decorate the Duck. Delivery is scheduled from February 24, 2023.
1948 – The Birth of the Legendary 2CV
At its first presentation at the Paris Motor Show in 1948, the 2CV astonished with its unusual design, its sophisticated construction, its versatility, and its extreme economy. The technologically advanced features for its time also convinced customers, including front-wheel drive, soft suspension, and an air-cooled two-cylinder engine. The high number of orders validated the developers' efforts – the “Duck” quickly became a staple of society and is today considered one of the icons of automotive history.
The Citroën 2CV was especially designed for the general population at a time when automobiles were still considered luxury items. It was an affordable vehicle with innovative features – not merely a downsized mid-range car. With this outstanding concept, the “Duck” captivated the masses: more than 5.1 million vehicles (including vans) were sold by 1990. Throughout its 42 years of existence, the 2CV managed to convince all social strata. With such a rich history and longevity, the “Duck” gradually became a true legend.
