The H Van was so ugly it was kinda cute! 
It really looks like it was made in some 8th grade shop class out of surplus material- or better yet, it was designed by the government!

Cute, but it can stay in NJ. I've worked on French cars and to put it politely, they are strange. Probably don't have enough power to get out of their own way.
I think the key word here is parked.You have a business there is no better way to get your name out there than with one of these trucks parked outside

I once owned a '71 Citroen DS21 4-door car. It was strange, one spoke steering wheel, the brake pedal was a floor mounted dimmer switch, the transmission was a 4-spd on the tree with an automatic clutch. It could be raised or lowered with a lever inside the car, it had hydro-pneumatic (sp?) suspension so it could actually drive home on three wheels- as long as the two front ones were still on the car it could pull up one side in the rear if you had a flat tire back there and limp home on three tires.
It was also very different to work on. It drove nicely, one of the best riding cars I ever drove, it had incredible seats! Top speed was about 110mph and if you drove it carefully, it would get about 28mpg. It would seat 6 people, 5 comfortably. It got alot of attention back in the late '70's when I owned it. Finally sold it to a good buddy of mine and he drove it for another 4-5 years before he sold it.
The French knew how to build a comfortable car, but they were very eccentric in thier methods. The H vans are another example of how strange was thier approach to building vehicles.
