IES América
|
 |
|
The interior is similar to that of a European 2CV of the
same vintage although the front seats have headrests. The
dashboard uses an Ami 6 speedo and the Quillery steering wheel and the
entire layout is reasonably faithful to that of a 1967 2CV AZAM Export.

|
The pedal rubbers retain the double chevron logo.

Under bonnet view reveals the relocated coil
necessitated by the redesigned and fixed headlights which came from the
Renault R 6.

 |
|
Possibly the biggest difference was the fitting of a
tailgate.

IES Super América
|
 |
|
The Super América seats lost the headrests, despite this
model being marketed as an improved version of the IES América.
|
 |
|
The dashboard and (small diameter) steering wheel owe
nothing to the 2CV and were manufactured by IES. The gearchange
is relocated to the floor as is the parking brake lever. The indicator
and lighting controls are operated by buttons on the quasi-lunule.
|
 |
|
Front brakes are in the wheels rather than inboard.
|
 |
|
Like the América, the Super América was a fiver door
hatchback.
