A French automotive classic – Citroën Type H This iconic Citroën model was unveiled in 1947 at the Paris Motor Show. Built on a simple and robust chassis, it quickly gained recognition for its versatility. Its unique appearance – a corrugated sheet metal body inspired by the German Ju 52 aircraft – made the Citroën Type H an icon of the French streetscape. A Retro Police Classic Versions of this vehicle adapted for uniformed service were used by the French National Police and the National Gendarmerie. From the 1950s until the early 1980s, they served a variety of purposes – from transporting officers, to transporting detainees, to serving as mobile command posts during protests and gatherings. The "Police" or "Gendarmerie" markings and subdued colors – most often navy blue or black – gave these vehicles a rugged yet recognizable appearance. The Type H was more than just a delivery van – it became a symbol of post-war France. Today, although rarely seen, it still appears in films and at classic car rallies, attracting the attention of car enthusiasts and history buffs. Why choose the Citroën Type H Police (1947–1981)?
