The most extravagant Citroen with wooden body was built by Rodney Burwell of West Haven, Connecticut, and is a boatbuilder's dream. Very punk, and on a 2CV chassis. My steam Citroen DS is actually a DJF since it is a wagon/break style and runs on "green" liquid fuels of nearly any type with low emissions. Not so punky, but a custom handbuilt body and definitely not a Detroit clone either. Though there have been many "modern" steam powered one-offs, the last production was eighty years ago with antique technology. Lots of the steampunk fabrications could actually use new adaptations of old technology, and I am delighted to contribute and work out the interfaces. This was a Citroen DS.
