Would this have been a meme car had it been in production for a little bit longer?
It's a hip meme car, keep it on the hush hush.
That car has gone beyond meme status
It was a meme before the internet, now everyone forgot about them

I would put a big block chevy into one.

Like the Beetle and the Trabant, this car was a meme before memes even existed. They called it the Duck where im from.

"Ugly duckling" here.
>>17329836
I dont get where the name came from, it doesnt even look like a duck.

>before memes even existed
The word meme originated with Richard Dawkins' 1976 book The Selfish Gene

It was first built in 1948.

It was in production for 42 years. What do you want?

These were made for a 2 cylinder, it would literally rip itself out of the mountings.
I like it better than the Beetle.
It was a meme car for rebellious academics here.

it's when you look at the car from the side. if you take it's basic shape it kind of reassembles a ducks head.
now what i don't understand is that in belgium they called it a goat.
>>17329840
see what i mean?
it's probably the same case with the goats.

Smallblock, but still.
I mean not the first time shit like this has been done, the Fiat Topolino was big for this sort of shit in the early 50's late 40's and it was about the same size.

very fast deux-che-veu at incredbily hihgh speed

it is a meme since it rusts like crazy and leaks water, last few years it was in production had bad quality steel which rusted during the first 2 years. I still love the damn car and use it as daily but mine is from 1974

car has 600kg with the engine,putting anything heavier would brake the mounting or lean the vehicle too much. I suggest going for visa engine, 652cc or more bore kit and power tube. I upgraded from 602cc to 652cc and added powertube, my max speed is 125km/h and I have around 37 hp. Next step would be the bmw engine but any speed above 90km/h is unbearable cause of the noise and everything rattling in the car. Don't forget this car was built for fuel economy, not speed.

people do put citroen gs engines and heavier engines but then it leans forward and loses its purpose
