The Citroën AZ-A2 "Duck" 1971 is a version of the Citroën 2CV, a model introduced in 1948 that became one of the French brand's most recognizable designs. The 2CV was developed on the premise of affordable and simple mobility for a wide audience, focusing on functionality and efficient use of materials. By 1971, the model was in a developed phase, in which earlier technical and practical improvements had already been made compared to the first years of production.

The Citroën AZ-A2 "Duck" 1971 belongs to the AZ series, a designation that was used for different variants within the 2CV program. Characteristic features of this generation were the air-cooled twin-cylinder boxer engine and front-wheel drive, combined with a lightweight body and chassis construction that focused on simplicity and ease of use. The suspension with interconnected spring elements contributed to the specific driving comfort that the 2CV is known for within its segment.

During the production years of the Citroën AZ-A2 "Duck" 1971, the 2CV was produced in large numbers, spread over several countries. The model played an important role in postwar mobility in Europe and remained in production for a long time due to its modular design and practicality. Detailed changes were made over the years in terms of technology and design, while retaining the original concept.

The Citroën AZ-A2 "Duck" 1971 occupied a clear position within Citroën's model range as a functional and accessible passenger car. Its design, with free-standing fenders, roll-up side windows and a simply designed interior, reflects the rational approach that underpinned the model. Thanks in part to this combination of technology and design, the 2CV has earned a lasting place within the history of the Citroën brand.
