THE FRENCHIE FOUR WHEELS
What do the Eiffel Tower, French Speaking Language, French Fries and French Café Streets have in common
Enchanted Paris
The French having all that
But it is the Citroen Car Sedan being the fact
My Grandfather owned the Citroen Car Sedan, but he wasn’t French and it all happened in the USA
I remember as if it was yesterday, my Grandfather had not only had the Citroen Sedan, but he also had the Station Wagon as well
Well let me tell
The Citroen had destined specifications and design
For starters, there was no ignition key, but it was a push button for transmission, Two Marker Lights on the Left and Right in the back
I hope you are keeping track
The most important element to the Citroen was that you had to wait for the back of the car to rise
Surprised?
Yes rise
But the Citroen sedan was unique
It was small and petite
I remember my Grandmother not liking the Citroen because of the waiting period to move into drive
Once the Citroen rose in the back, it would suddenly eject back to normal and at the point it was all go
Even myself, I had to get used to the Citroen, and my taste for French flavor
After the Citroen Sedan, my Grandfather decided to trade the Citroen Sedan for a Station Wagon
It was the same concept, but slightly longer, and more wider
But there was an end to the Citroen Station Wagon in my life
My Grandfather, Grandmother, Female Cousin and myself were riding along Atlantic Avenue of the LIRR Station of East New York when all of sudden, the wheel in the back of the Citroen on the passenger’s side came completely off and laid flat on the ground
Thank God no one was hurt
So my Grandmother actually got her wish of no more Citroen
My Grandmother told my Grandfather, the next car, let it be one to get in and drive off
So the Citroen became history
But what was the other car my Grandfather got, I will let that be a mystery
So I got the French experience on wheels
The Citroen being no more
It is all memorable with a reflection galore.
