DidierF ◊ 2015-03-09 10:42	But… how do you know this? Is there some reachable documentation about Type H, HY and others on the internet?
Lateef ◊ 2015-03-09 10:43	I know this from IMCDb. 1964+ one-piece windshield, 1969+ squared rear fenders.
DidierF ◊ 2015-03-09 10:44	Fine! And, er… why "Y"?
Lateef ◊ 2015-03-09 10:46	The HY replaced the H in 1957/1958.
DidierF ◊ 2015-03-09 10:55	Well, if you say so… But nothing of the sort on wikipedia: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citro%C3%ABn_Type_H "En fonction de la charge et de sa carrosserie, l'appellation commerciale changeait, H (1 200 kg de charge utile), HZ (850 kg puis 1 000 kg), HY (1 500 kg puis 1 600 kg), HP (plateau), HX (plateau frigorifique) ou HW (plateau pour les carrossiers)."
Lateef ◊ 2015-03-09 10:57	On English Wikipedia, however...
DidierF ◊ 2015-03-09 11:00	Lateef wrote On English Wikipedia, however... Those who write "In France, this van is known as "Nez de Cochon", "Pig Nose"." which was actually the nickname given to the Peugeot D3A and siblings…
DidierF ◊ 2015-03-09 11:09	But Citroënet says it… or say "Then in 1958 the H was superceded by the HY with a maximum payload of 1 500kg." Does this "superceded" mean that the HY was better and bigger than the H (letting the H still being built) or that the production of HY replaced that of the H?
