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

1974 CITROEN HY HERITAGE FOOD TRUCK RECEIVES FLATBED ASSISTANCE ON KELTON DRIVE, DALLAS

This past week, our team had the privilege of assisting a distinctive customer who is the proud owner of a stunning 1974 Citroen HY food truck. Known affectionately as "D's Chippery," this vintage culinary delight faced some mechanical challenges, being unable to start while parked on a residential area of Kelton Drive in Dallas.

The Citroen HY stands as an iconic vehicle in auto history, having made its debut in 1947 and continuing production until 1981. The version we encountered, a 1974 model, has been meticulously restored and converted into an appealing food truck. It features a striking combination of green and cream in its color palette, enhancing its old-world charm. This model is instantly recognizable by its corrugated body panels, a hallmark of the HY series that not only adds a unique aesthetic but also strengthens the structure of what was originally intended as a delivery van.

The preservation and transformation of this Citroen HY into a food-serving vehicle is what sets it apart. Traditionally used across Europe for deliveries and as traveling shops, finding one in Dallas, Texas, repurposed as a food truck yet retaining its historical allure, is truly remarkable. The owner's commitment to maintaining its genuine looks, while equipping it for contemporary street food vending, is commendable.

Responding to the call about the starting problem, it was clear to us that this exceptional vehicle warranted the delicate handling of our specialized flatbed towing services. Owing to its nostalgic design and importance, the Citroen HY necessitated careful handling for transport, a task well within our capability. The serene neighborhood of Kelton Drive, usually a quiet residential area, presented a unique scene as our operation unfolded. It attracted numerous local residents who emerged to appreciate this vintage French automotive masterpiece, making the event memorable as we gently positioned it onto our flatbed for safe transport.
