Wiley Dog and Sparky were lucky to have for their use in Paris. Made with right hand drive in 1939 at Slough, England. There are only six left in 2008. The grill sports the Citroen logo which is the " double chevron ", referencing Citroen's early work on the " herringbone " or double helical gear, but there are other theories about this. Citroen, was Jewish and also an internationally well-known Freemason, attached to the Lodge of " La Philosophia Positive " in Paris. The logo may be interpreted as a masonic symbol - a double masonic square or a double masonic compass, associating the masonic ideology of Citroen with his invention of the double helical gear. In masonry, the compass is associated with the symbolism of the " architect's tools ", so it is possible that Citroen used a double compass to represent his invention, in a masonic way.
