Citroen type H: commercial vehicle of the “Chevron brand” produced in half a million units between 1947 and 1981. Mr. Marcel Xiffre poses proudly for the photo on May 31, 1962, leaning on the foot of his vehicle that was commonly known as the Tube, not because of its shape (on the contrary very cubic) but in reference to the Citroen truck model that had preceded it and that called itself the TUB (Low Utility Traction). One of the particularities of the “” Tube” was its wavy sheet body, like the famous Junkers Ju 52 aircraft. It was still famous in France as a police vehicle, nicknamed “salad basket” and was also part of the rural landscape from 1950 to 1980, being used by many street traders.
