Coachbuilder Henri Chapron was tasked by Citroen to create the 'Décapotable Usine,' or 'factory convertible. They were sold through Citroen dealers, and fewer than 1,400 factory cabriolet examples are believed to have been built. Approximately 120 examples of the DS 19 Cabriolets were built for 1965.
This DS 19 Cabriolet left the factory with a four-speed manual gearbox. It was the 16th 1965 model year DS 19, and the sixth equipped with a manual gearbox, to be delivered to Chapron's facility in Levallois Perret, France. It entered Chapron's facility on September 8th, 1964 and was given a Corrida Red exterior over Bleu Turquoise leather interior. When the work was completed on October 12 of that year, it was sent back to Citroen.
A three-year, comprehensive restoration was performed by Vincent Crescia of Geneva, Switzerland. Upon completion, it wore a shade of Bleu Antarctique on its exterior, and the interior was retrimmed in blue leather.By Daniel Vaughan | Jan 2024
