Belphegor (truck)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- The name Belphegor has other uses; see Belphegor (disambiguation) if this entry is not the subject you expected.
In 1964, Citroën released a range of trucks from 3.5 to 8 ton capacity, styled by Flaminio Bertoni, the Italian sculptor also responsible for the Citroën 2CV, Citroën DS, Citroën Ami 6, and Citroën Traction Avant cars.
The trucks were unusual in appearance. Probably because of the looks, they were known as the "Belphegor", after the then-popular television series about a mystery in the Louvre Museum, Belphegor.
