Citroën DS – 1960

An intriguing new car debuted at the Grand Palais in Paris in October 1955, and the press hailed it as a sensation. The Citroën DS had arrived, and shortly after its world debut at the Paris Motor Show, many people were enthralled and ordered the model.

Famous for its futuristic appearance, it’s not surprising that the model made the other vehicles at the motor show look outdated. Citroën produced the D-series cars all from 1955 until 1975, selling around 1.5 million. It became a popular choice because of its state-of-the-art technology, like having a hydropneumatic self-leveling suspension system, and of course, an aerodynamic body design.
