The Citroën Ami 6 was
introduced at the Paris Salon in October 1960. It was launched in
April 1961. Citroën was responding to a market need for a vehicle
larger and less basic than the 2CV but smaller than the upmarket
ID/DS. The Ami 6 was a re-bodied 2CV with a larger engine 602 cc air
cooled two-cylinder engine which was also offered at extra cost in
the 2CV from 1961.
The Ami 6 was one of the
first (together with the 1961 Ford Taunus) vehicles fitted with
rectangular (as opposed to round) headlamps. The first model is
distinguished by an unusual reverse-raked rear window, similar to the
rear screen fitted to the 1959 Ford Anglia 105E. The bonnet design
had a 'aesthetically challenged' dip.

A Break version was
launched in September 1964, it looked less unconventional than the
Berline and was also used as the basis for the Service van in 1965.
The Ami 6 was replaced by the Ami 8 in 1969. Production of the Ami 6
(Berline/Break/Service van) totalled 1,039,384 units.
