Citroenet article about the Chilean Citroneta
"1953 was the year when the first 2CVs were built in Chile to create employment.
Initially, they caused lots of laughter due to their funny looks and ridiculous power output in comparison with the North American V8s.
Afterwards, the Chilean designers created a body that would suit the country's specific needs. The car should be useful for both city dwellers and also for farmers who needed to carry fruit, vegetables, hens or even pigs. Thus, an open boot would make everything easier. The use of a "decapotable" roof was abandoned.
"The sales success that this model enjoyed was so great that it can be said that almost every Chilean has driven a Citroneta. All the streets were filled with this "French Miracle" as they were affectionately called. They also gave many Chileans their first chance to own a car, since before the 2CV there wasn't any car available at such a low price."
"The last of the "boot design" cars was built in 1973."
