In 1957 I saw the first DS, a Corgi DS19. It became my favorite car before I knew anything about its mechanicals. I saw the first SM, a real one, at a bank repo lot in the mid-70s. Since then I have had a 1971 DS21H Pallas, a 1970 ID21FH, a 1969 ID21F, a 1970 DSpécial 21 (original engine replaced with the engine from the '71 DS21H Pallas), and two 1972 SM 5 speeds. The years that I drove these cars were the only years I ever enjoyed driving. Oldsmobiles, Cadillacs, minivans, pickups, freight trucks, buses, all just chores. Nothing like a 1956-75 Citroën DS, SM!

@Tinfoilstar2 Hey, Citroen actually only returned to South Africa in 2001 with the Xantia for a short period, then the C- series started, first the horrible first C5's then the much better C4 C3 C2 then the C1. There is a big Citroen "family" here in South Africa!! We all love our old "real" citroens!! Cheers Corne Thank you for a great, video, your car really looks perfect!!

Wunderschönes Auto. Unser nachbar hatte in den 70ern so ein DS. Die Blinker beeindruckten mich als Kind enorm. Und offenbar hatte man damals noch Zeit zum Fahren. Warten bis er anspringt, warten bis die Gute erhebt.........einfach schön!

I'm in love with your car man!!! I'm from Catalonia and love classic Citroëns, when i was 18, i could only afford a '79 Dyane 6 to restore which i restored and now drive absolutly new (i'm 19 now), but all classic models of Citroën have something special, the technologycal advances they had at the time provide them the finest performance ever seen in classic cars... ONLY CITROËN!!! :D Congratulations for your more than wonderful car my friend!!!

fantastic... thanx for sharing. I was a little boy when I for the first time saw a DS... these rare and wonderful cars were not an every-day site in my part of the world... So, I promised myself that one day i too will have a Citroen. When the chance came I bought a GS Club and later a GS X2 when i was a student. By then Citroen left South Africa and became part of the PSA group. Citroen only returned to SA in the 1990s... and im NOT impressed with what they have become in the meantime...

I have to admit, as a boy I always thought the DS was the ugliest car in the world. It looked like it came from space or something, but it also looked like an old car... But over the years you learn to apperciate the DS. Now I think its a very interesting car, and the looks grow slowly to my heart. Now that I know what technology it has in it, and how innovatif that was at the time, I am really loving it!

If Europe continued to make cars like these today...they wouldn't be in the financial trouble thry're in now. My mom owned a DS21 with the inset lights and two independent frogs eye lights. I prefer this model above. This vehicle went beyond the pale of comparison. It wasn't just luxury but luxury personified. Was it complicated and finicky to fix? You bet it was. But anything that advanced is going to have some issues. This guy still owns one...he's one lucky bastard!

Bonjour, savez vous pour quelle raison Citroën n'a pas de concession aux USA ? A cause de la DS. Pour ne pas faire venir cette voiture qui avaient 50 ans d'avance par rapport à la technique des voitures américaines de l'époque; ils imposaient de mettre des pare chocs comme les vieux taxis new-yorkais, horribles (sous prétexte de sécurité)... Citroën a refusé... Et a quitté les USA. (Comme le Concorde avec sont bruit 'trop fort'').
