earleygallery Posted April 3, 2008 Share #1 Posted April 3, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) Such a great design, still one of my favourite looking cars. I came close to buying one when I first started driving, so wish I had! M2 & 35mm Skopar. Welcome, dear visitor!

stunsworth Posted April 3, 2008 Share #4 Posted April 3, 2008 I was in France last year and came across about a dozen parked together. Must have been an owners' club of some kind. A beautiful car indeed. Pity about the flag though <grin>. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted April 3, 2008 Share #5 Posted April 3, 2008 The first time I saw a DS was about 1958 and I was stunned at how clean the design was. Nice shot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Alfy Posted April 4, 2008 Share #7 Posted April 4, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) Beautiful picture, but you wring my heart! I bet the BW image hides a beige Pallas model, the same I owned for 8 years back in the seventies. I wish they were still built, they would still be the best!

earleygallery Posted April 4, 2008 Author Share #8 Posted April 4, 2008 Thanks for the replies. Steve, funny you should mention, I thought that there was a classic car gathering nearby as there were a few other intersting cars in the area. Indeed here is another photo of the car which was parked next to the DS, and no Max, it wasn't yours, it was silver not beige Welcome, dear visitor!

cbretteville Posted April 5, 2008 Share #9 Posted April 5, 2008 Nice shot. The look of the car brings back memories. One of my neighbors had a green one when I was growing up. Just a couple of weeks ago I saw an estate/station wagon version of the DS here in Oslo. Can't remember seeing one before. - Carl Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest suilvenman Posted April 5, 2008 Share #10 Posted April 5, 2008 A carefully captured photo, James, and an especially nostalgic context for the DS. It's difficult now, I suppose, to appreciate the impact this car must have created when it first appeared in the mid-fifties at a time when most vehicles still looked as if out of the Keystone Cops. It's also a reminder that up until its virtual disappearance within the Peugeot group, Citroen was always innovative in both engineering and design. Max - a very evocative shot. And yes, there are some cars (like cameras) that you wish you had never let go. Cheers, Ken. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Alfy Posted April 5, 2008 Share #11 Posted April 5, 2008 And yes, there are some cars (like cameras) that you wish you had never let go. Thank you for your commiseration Ken. Proof that I nonetheless have a heart: my 30 years-old second-hand Nocti is practically glued on the M8. Max Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elansprint72 Posted April 5, 2008 Share #12 Posted April 5, 2008 A real car. The second shot looks like a hand-tinted Victorian postcard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael-IIIf Posted April 6, 2008 Share #13 Posted April 6, 2008 M2 and DS, what a nice combination of contemporaries. There is one parked on our road, used daily, still in great shape and still looks great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samwells Posted April 7, 2008 Share #14 Posted April 7, 2008 Ah, that's made me come over all misty-eyed...got rid of my DS last year! An extraordinary engineering tour de force, and probably the best car I've ever owned (and certainly the most comfortable). Thanks for bringing back the meory. cheers: Sam Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember well it had a little third row of seats to accomodate a pair of children (and he had six, indeed...) The DS Cabrio (Chapron) was another memorable version, but the real queen was anyway "La Deèsse" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted June 25, 2008 Share #17 Posted June 25, 2008 Nice shot of a unique designed car. While talking about the technology of these rides, please don´t forget the ups and downs of Citroen (haha, like the hydro-pneumatic suspension system). Back in the 70´s and 80´s they had a lot of problems. Btw., the design of the new C5/C6 is also kind of avantgarde. Especially the C5 looks interesting.
