Is that a Citron Jim? kinda neat in obscure way,like a AMC Rambler.
Yep Dave:
That's a Citreon SM. I watched one of these literally rot away before my eyes when I lived in the Mid West. The neighbor who owned it had a really unusual string of profanities she'd let go with every time she'd try to start the thing.

I used to own its plain sister, the CX 2400 C-matic, which was a bit underpowered. The one shown above is the GT version, styled/engineered by the people at Maserati, which Citroen purchased back then - about 1970. It was very "cutting edge" in its day, won all sorts of awards, quirky in a French way, e.g. the indicators were not self-cancelling, because Citroen thought that a manual cancel would aid driver alertness. The pneumatic suspension was great! Mine did not have starting/rust problems, but then I did not live in the MidWest. Just as a Monday car in the US is called a lemon, the French use the same term, un citron.
