Showpiece-Ready: Citroën HY
Own a fully realized vintage Citroën HY — curated, restored, and prepared for U.S. entrepreneurs who demand exceptional fit, finish, and presence.
Showpiece vehicles represent the highest level of craftsmanship we offer. Every detail — materials, electrical systems, drivability, and visual polish — is considered and refined to create a vehicle that functions as both a commercial asset and a visual centerpiece.
What Is a Showpiece-Ready Van?
A Showpiece is our most premium Citroën HY offering — fully restored, thoughtfully fabricated, and finished with elevated materials and modern capability.
Unlike our Build-Ready & Service-Ready vehicles, our Showpiece-Ready van requires no additional planning or build-out. Electrical systems, workspace layout, finishes, and drivability are already resolved, allowing owners to focus on how the vehicle represents their brand.

Heritage & Provenance
Produced between 1947 and 1981, the Citroën HY became a symbol of postwar European commerce — valued for its durability, adaptability, and unmistakable design.
Originally used by tradespeople, caterers, postal services, and small businesses across Europe, these vehicles were built to work — and built to last.
Today, that same heritage gives the HY its enduring appeal: a vehicle with history, purpose, and presence — thoughtfully reintroduced for modern entrepreneurs.
A Personal Note from the Founders
We’re Dana and Chad Mack — partners in life and founders of Retro Roll.
Retro Roll is our shared vision, born from a deep appreciation for vintage craftsmanship and the belief that great businesses deserve to stand out.
Our journey began across Europe — from Marseille to London — sourcing Citroën HY vans and learning firsthand what it takes to bring them to the U.S. the right way. Along the way, we built a trusted network of specialists, navigated the complexities of import and compliance, and refined a process we now use to help others make this investment with confidence.
We don’t just broker these vehicles — we own them, operate them, and understand them inside and out. That experience is what makes Retro Roll a trusted partner for entrepreneurs looking to build something distinctive.
