Serial number 4616982 DS 21 recast by ivanoff Good state of restoration – refurbished Upholstery French title card A real bomb at the 1955 Paris Motor Show, the Citroën DS revolutionized the world of the automobile. Apart from the engine taken over from the Traction, the DS innovates on almost everything: high-pressure braking, fully hydraulic suspension, power steering... The very special design of his bodyshell is due to the pencil of the house stylist, the incredible Flaminio Bertoni to whom we also owe the 2 CV, the «Belphégor», the Traction. Becoming timeless, the DS has never been really outdated. 58 This incredible Citroën still holds the road well with a technology that admits more than half a century. Its comfort is still surprising both in terms of its seats and its hydraulic suspension. Braking, incredible at the time, remains very effective. All these qualities make that despite its age, the DS is still very comfortable in the current traffic. In 1958, Henri Chapron, a French car body shop, was chosen by Citroën to design and manufacture the factory convertible. His creations will become collector’s items. The factory convertible followed the technical evolution of the sedan, and existed in version DS 19 (1960-1965), DS 21 (1965-1971) and DS 21 electronic injection (1969-1970). If the Citroën DS sedan represented from 1955 the top of the French range in the minds of all, what then of its convertible version? At last his versions! That said, whether in unofficial versions (Croisette, Caddy, Palm Beach or Cabriolet, produced 236 copies between 1958 and 1972) or in «factory» version, all the DS convertibles worthy of interest were manufactured by one and the same «constructor»: Henri Chapron.
