Citroen Acadiane

The Citroën Acadiane is a small commercial van that Citroën built from 1977 to 1987, derived from the Dyane and sold only with the steering wheel on the left. Production totalled 253,393. The name puns on AK Dyane, since Citroën already used the AK prefix for light commercials, and has no link to Acadiana in Louisiana. It came as a two-seat van or as a Mixte with sliding rear windows and a removable bench seat, and its rear bodywork had a corrugated roof for stiffness. Compared with the Dyane it had heavier suspension, a slightly altered chassis, a load-sensitive rear brake limiter and wind-down door windows, and it carried about 500 kg. The Visa-based C15 replaced it. A pickup called the Geri was built by Cimos in Yugoslavia from 1981 to 1985.
