If you’ve ever thought the world needed more postwar French cars stuffed full of small-block Chevy V-8, this 1950 Citroen 11B custom, for sale on Hemmings.com, may be the street rod you’ve been waiting for. We’re not quite sure how the builder managed to fit the 350 V-8 between the front fenders, but installing it meant fabricating a custom driveline to convert the car from front-drive to rear-drive. In other words, it took quite a bit of engineering to put this French-American hybrid together, and it most assuredly will get your baguettes home from the boulangerie before they get stale. You can be absolutely certain you’ll never encounter another in the parking lot, though other Citroen owners may cast the occasional disapproving glare. From the seller’s description:
