The original model: symbol of French liberty
The Citroën 2 CV 6 COCORICO represents one of the most patriotic variations of the famous "Deuche." Launched in the 1970s, this special version belongs to the line of limited editions that marked the history of this iconic model. The name "COCORICO" directly refers to the crowing of the rooster, an unofficial symbol of France, thus highlighting the distinctly French character of this automobile.
This particular version of the 2 CV 6 stands out with its 602 cm³ engine developing 28 horsepower, offering modest performance but enough for its time. Its body, adorned in national colors, made it a vehicle of choice for patriotic events and celebrations of French identity. The spartan yet functional interior, detachable seats, and foldable roof remained faithful to the original spirit of simplicity envisioned by Pierre-Jules Boulanger.
The success of this special edition reflects the deep attachment of the French to their "people's car." It perfectly embodied the values of equality and simplicity cherished in France, while proudly displaying its national colors on the roads of the country.
Citroën in the 1970s: innovation and boldness
At the time of this COCORICO version's creation, Citroën was going through a period of intense creativity. The chevroned brand had just revolutionized the automobile industry with the DS and continued its path of innovation with models like the GS and soon the CX. This creative effervescence was also reflected in the special editions of the 2 CV, which allowed the brand to explore different artistic expressions.
Founded in 1919 by André Citroën, the brand quickly established itself as a pioneer of mass production in Europe. From its beginnings, it had placed bets on technological innovation and avant-garde design. The brand's philosophy was to democratize the automobile by offering vehicles accessible to the largest number, while maintaining a technical edge over its competitors.
The 1970s marked the peak of this approach, with a diverse range spanning from the popular 2 CV to the prestigious DS and SM. This prosperous period allowed Citroën to offer special versions like the COCORICO, showcasing the creative vitality of the brand and its ability to surprise the market with original proposals.
A tricolor ambassador on all roads
The story of the 2 CV COCORICO goes far beyond the automobile framework to anchor in the French collective imagination. This special version became the emblem of numerous patriotic events, from the July 14 parades to international sporting events where it accompanied French supporters.
A notable anecdote recounts that in 1978, during the World Cup in Argentina, several French supporters took their 2 CV COCORICO to South America to support the French team. This adventurous odyssey, immortalized in several reports of the time, transformed these tricolor "Deuches" into true media stars, symbolizing the adventurous and passionate spirit of the French.
The COCORICO was also highly sought after during French cultural events abroad. Consulates and embassies freely used it during official ceremonies, creating an immediate link with popular French culture. Its cheerful appearance and bright colors made it an excellent ambassador of the French art de vivre.
This unique cultural dimension places the 2 CV COCORICO well beyond a mere transport vehicle. It embodies a whole part of French identity, combining good-natured patriotism, spirit of freedom, and attachment to republican values, turning each miniature into a true piece of automotive and cultural history.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to understand the scales of miniatures?
Scale indicates the reduction ratio between the real car and the miniature. For example, at 1:43 scale, each centimeter on the miniature corresponds to 43 centimeters on the real vehicle.

What scales are available?
Our model cars are mainly offered in 1/43, 1/24, 1/18 and 1/87 (HO) scales. The scale is always indicated in the product sheet.
The smaller the second number, the larger the model car (e.g. 1/18 is larger than 1/43).
