1974 Citroen HY Vintage Food Truck Flatbed Towing on Kelton Drive Dallas

1974 CITROEN HY VINTAGE FOOD TRUCK FLATBED TOWING ON KELTON DRIVE DALLAS

Earlier this week, we came to the aid of a unique customer who owns this gorgeous 1974 Citroen HY food truck. This classic French beauty, known as "D's Chippery," needed some special attention when it refused to start outside a residential property on Kelton Drive in Dallas.

The Citroen HY is a remarkable piece of automotive history, first introduced in 1947 and produced until 1981. This particular 1974 model has been beautifully restored and converted into a charming food truck, sporting an eye-catching green and cream color scheme that perfectly matches its vintage character. The corrugated body panels, which are a distinctive feature of the HY series, not only give it that unmistakable retro look but also provided additional structural strength to the original delivery van design.

What makes this Citroen HY truly special is how well it's been preserved and repurposed. These vehicles were primarily used as delivery vans and mobile shops in Europe, and seeing one here in Dallas, Texas, transformed into a modern food truck while maintaining its classic charm is quite a sight. The owner has done an amazing job maintaining its authentic appearance while adapting it for today's mobile food service needs.

When we got the call about the starting issues, we knew right away that this classic vehicle would need our specialized flatbed towing service. The Citroen HY's unique design and vintage status require extra care during transport, and our roadside assistance expertise came in handy for this particular situation. Kelton Drive is one of those peaceful residential streets in Dallas where you might not expect to find such a European classic, but that's what makes our city so special. The tree-lined street provided the perfect backdrop for this unusual towing operation, and we had quite a few neighbors coming out to admire this piece of French automotive history as we carefully loaded it onto our flatbed.
