Not even. 2CVs have enough of a certain hipsterey attraction to a broad Barnes & Noble type personality that, while it doesn’t make them expected, does at least mean I’m barely surprised. Something like, say, a WWI Vickers tank? That would really be surprising. Then there’s stuff of the “HOW THE F DID YOU GET THIS IN HERE” variety. Say, a locomotive.

Is this a 2VC or 4VC? I have seen only 2 2VCs in person, one of them owned by a old lady who let people ride in it. It was fun seeing that kind old lady start up her 2VC in one try and run it around with 3 people and sagging suspension.

It is a late one with 600cc, so actually a 3CV.

Aaah. I have never seen a picture of a 4VC, so I never knew what it looked like. I always assumed it looked like a 2VC. As for the 3VC, I had no idea it existed.

Well, one is made by Citroën, the other by Renault, so it would be slightly surprising if they looked identical - even though Renault did like to copy Citroën sometimes :)

Side note: In Argentina the 2CV-variant with the 602 cc engine was actually called the 3CV. Also, the Citroën Ami (for which the 602 cc engine was originally designed) was unofficially called the 3CV in France.
