Also called the "turtle", the flat- iron, the "toad", but at the time, in 1955, the Citroën DS was introduced on the motor show of Paris, the first day already 12.000 orders were placed. This, rather expensive car, combinated some techniques never seen before, like front wheel drive, loose coach- work parts, self supported chassis and an hydraulic springsystem. The car looked very avant-garde and was produced till 1975. In 1999 the British magazine "Classic & Sportscar" exclaimed the DS as "the most beautiful car all times". Image size: 260 x 360 mm
