2CV with a difference

A French (who else) cabinet maker has spent 6 years making this wooden 2CV. Fabulous IMO. I especially love the seats.

So if you park it up and come back after it's been raining, does it swell up into a DS or what?!

Id say the wooden tyres could be an issue

A burn out with those tyres would be a disaster.

Unless they're made from rubber trees?

Wood's pretty strong stuff. I reckon you could fashion a car out of laminated wood that was very strong. It can be pretty light too. Nature's carbon fibre. Here's a wooden racing bike.

It was used a lot as a material in the old days in cars. Though I'd say he'd be lucky to get it above 20mph considering the weight.

Can't imagine being at the elm of that.
