CITROËN H 1600 Fourgon Publicity

            Advertisement image of a Citroën H 1600 designed by graphic designer Karel Suyling (1926-2014).
In the mid 1950s Suyling started to design a 2CV folder for Citroën Nederland NV. This brochure aroused great enthusiasm at the head office of the Dutch Citroën importer. From 1958 onwards Suyling would design all publicity-campaign for the Dutch market. After 1963 almost all in black & white.
His work for Citroën Nederland ended in 1970 when Citroën Headquarters in Paris ordered an uniform European style.

The very basic HY van was designed by André Lefèbvre (France, 1894-1964), Flaminio Bertoni (Italy, 1903-1964) and Pierre Franchiset, and introduced at the October 1947 Paris Car Salon. Throughout its entire life the design stayed almost the same. Still we can recognize some changes.
Some characteristics of the early Phase I model: split windscreen (replaced in early 1964), big sized chevrons on the bonnet (changed to shorter ones in late 1964), narrow vertical rear window with curved corners (changed to a wider square one in Febr. 1963), and semi-circular rear wings (replaced by rectangular ones in Nov. 1969).
Later models were called HY.
French HY vans kept suicide doors till the very end of production. For the Dutch market conventional front hinged doors were introduced in 1968.
Lots of vans have survived as camper or as food truck.

1911 cc L4 petrol engine (taken from TA).
C. 1450 kg.
Production Citroën H/HY Fourgon: June 1948-Dec. 1981.
Dutch production this version: 1951-1963.

Exact date unknown.
