Description
I have decided to upload my own designs now. Expect low quality and questionable design choices :D

In early 30s French manufacturer Konsul faced a bit of a problem - people were too poor to afford their magnificent „Amiral” flagship and were more likely to buy something like a Dixi from those pesky Germans at BMW. Upon hearing these news, Henri Konsul, CEO of the factory finished his baguette and said that they need a small and affordable car for a regular Jean-Pierre to drive in. Engineers quickly began to work and by summer 1933 they were ready with first prototype, powered by a small, twin-cylinder engine. It was deemed unreliable and underpowered, so engineers quickly added one more cylinder and improved some design flaws. Another prototype left design bureau in spring of 1934, was approved after test trials, and in November the same year it entered production. Konsul 1000 (that's how it was called) sold well, until 1940, when France was kind of nonexisted and production was halted, firstly because of war effort production, second because Germans claimed this factory and told workers that they must now produce Panzer III gearboxes (that was mean). When those pesky sausage eaters left however, factory resumed production, this time under new name, Konsul B. It was changed because they wanted to reflect the class of the vehicle, or something idk. You never question French car producers about their sanity. Vehicle was scheduled to be replaced by a new model, B1, in 1951, but it turned out that B1 was even worse than model B, so its production was halted in 1954, meanwhile regular model B was produced until 1957, when it was finally replaced by a model B2.

References and disclaimer: All stereotypes provided only for joke purposes and should not offend anyone. Both French and German people are cool and I have nothing against them. Also, if you read all of this, you can title yourself cool and can write „Bens is Heeg” in comment section to prove your coolness. Vehicle was based mostly on Fiat 508 and Simca 8, with some small Simca 5/Fiat 500 vibes.
