Our Take:
- Pioneering Design: The 1969 Citroen DS is nothing short of an icon, blending avant-garde design with technological innovations. Its aerodynamic body and hydraulic suspension system were way ahead of its time, making it seem almost like a spaceship compared to its contemporaries. Can you imagine the heads it turned back in the '60s?
- Hydropneumatic Suspension: Speaking of groundbreaking tech, this car’s hydropneumatic suspension was a game changer. This system offered unparalleled ride comfort and adjustable ride height, which was pretty wild for the 60s. This one's been redone, so you’re getting a piece of history with some renewed life.
- Manual Transmission Delight: While many car enthusiasts enjoy the tactile pleasure of a manual transmission, the Citroen DS's gearbox offers a mix unparalleled by many other cars of its era. It’s not just about shifting gears; it’s about connecting with the road in a way that few modern vehicles can replicate.
- Cultural Impact: The DS was often called “la Déesse” (meaning “the Goddess” in French), which speaks to its reverent position in automotive history. This model was featured in numerous films and was beloved by celebrities and dignitaries alike. Owning one is like owning a piece of automotive royalty.
