Citroen was founded in 1919 by Andre Citroen, and by the late 1920s it was Europe's largest car manufacturer and had a reputation for fine quality, innovation and revolutionary engineering. The Citroen Traction Avant, launched in 1934, had pioneered mass production with three revolutionary features still in use today: a unitary body with no separate chassis, four-wheel independent suspension, and front-wheel drive. Although its appearance was prewar, its popularity continued for several years after the war. Then, at the 1955 Paris Auto Salon, Citroen launched the new DS 19. Incredibly, over 80,000 cars were ordered during the show. The car's totally streamlined body made almost every other car seem old, and its innovative chassis and running gear had never been witnessed. The specification included a 1911cc engine with a 3 bearing crankshaft developed from the Avant, an innovative high-pressure oil-filled self-leveling suspension, a complex hydraulic brake system, hydraulic steering and an optional hydraulic clutch mated to a semi-automatic gearbox. The first series of the DS19 was built from 1955 until 1962 and remains unique for its pure and timeless design.
This car is one of the most original first series DS 19 Berlines.
