Howdy Don,
 
 DD> Because the one time I tried, the US Government said I had to post a
 DD> bond equal to the value of the car in the US market, which was
 DD> non-refundable if the car didn't meet US emission and safety standards.
 DD> (And even if it did, they wanted to hold the bond for five years.)
 
How old was the car? You can import a pre-`67 anything without any problem 
and 
most all 2CVs imported to the US have `66 or earlier chassis and later body 
and they just waive them through.
 
Happy Trails
