The history of cars in Viet-nam is very interesting. I didn't know about some of them, until you were kind enough to visit this site and share the information about them. Thank you so much.

The only information I have about the Citroen automobile in Siagon and Viet-nam is what is available on the Internet through seach engines, such as Google, etc. I do recall that when I lived in Saigon during 1959 to 1961 Citroen cars where everywhere. They were one of the most popular luxury cars at that time. As, I remember, they had a problem with the axles breaking on the rough roads in Viet-nam. They looked funny sitting on the side of the road with there tires laying flat pointing outward when the axles broke. I visited your web site. Very well done. A lot of interesting information about the Citroen. If in the future I come across information about Citroen in Asia I'll forward it to you. Have a great day!
