Cocked Hats in a 4x4 [1967]

MADRID (Spain). We know that a 2 CV can accommodate a driver in a top hat. Now we have evidence that it can offer similar facilities in width. Everyone knows the picturesque cocked hats worn by the Spanish Civil Guards. For many years these cocked hatted gentlemen rode on horseback, but from now on they will travel in 2 CVs. Some 80, 4 x 4 2 CVs with two engines are being used by the Civil Guard for patrols in rough terrain or anywhere that the lack of roadways calls for a suitable cross-country vehicle.
