In the late fifties, Citroën's model line up comprised the 2 CV and the D Series,
the former being designed to cater for the bottom end of the market and
the latter aimed at the upper echelons. There was a yawning chasm
between these two extremes and in the late 1950s, the company undertook
a number of design
studies including the Cocinelle
and the C-60 in an attempt to plug the gap.
Based on the proven
underpinnings of the 2CV but with a much less rustic body, the Ami 6,
despite its somewhat odd appearance, sold well - especially in Break
form.
