A 1947 Citroen HY "Pig Nose" or nez de cochon

From Ed --- Attached is a photo of the only interesting vehicle we saw while in Spain two weeks ago -- a completely restored 1947 Citroen HY.

1947 was the first year these French delivery vans were built (I confirmed with the owner, who spoke English, the year of the van).  The HY was a postwar replacement the Citroen TUB (Transport Utilitaire Bras) and important to France's post-war reviving economy.  

The 1.9 liter four-cylinder and the monocoque construction came from the Traction Avant.

The HV had many nicknames but the best one was nez de cochon or "pig nose."
