Citroen DS19 (1957)
That’s one way for Flaminio Bertoni to present a design.
The other involved an auto-show, but even in 1957 that was ‘like, so old fashioned.

Citroen DS Mille Pattes (1972)
Guess what mille pattes means.
You may count ten, but there are eleven wheels in this DS. Michelin used it to safely test new tires, and Citroen took care of powering it with a couple of Chevrolet V8 engines.
And yes, it was heavy.

Just when you thought you couldn’t find a prettier DS. This is lovely.

Citroen DS (1955)
It’s not enough to admire the DS in all its glory on the street. One even wants to invite the DS over to the photo studio, and have a nice chat about the good uncomplicated life in the 50’s over a cup of green tea and perhaps a mildly warm croissant.

Citroen DS (1955)
Paris is a wonderful place. And few things in life look bad next to the Eiffel Tower. Therefore, a whole lot of things look rather special in this scenario.
And then there’s the Citroen DS.
Few things in life look bad inside and next to one of the most beautiful and passionate pieces of automotive artwork. Cruising along in a DS is just like getting off work straight away to a (quite sexy) tea party with Helen Mirren. In your pajamas.
Too often we’re blown away with power per ton, not to 100km/h times, and lap times at the Nurburgring. But the Citroen DS always was, and always will be so much more than that.
It’s your lover in red, waiting for you at the Eiffel tower.
