Description
Registration number: DE-79-21
*Citroën DS19 Hydraulique – The French Goddess on Wheels
*
This iconic DS has been in the Netherlands since 1991 and has been cherished by only two dedicated enthusiasts ever since — people who meticulously cared for their DS down to the finest details. This Citroën is also well-documented and comes with various original brochures and workshop manuals.
*A Beautiful DS in Neat and Good Condition
*
Over the years, the DS went through several phases, and this 1963 example is an updated version of the legendary French classic. These models, for example, received a slightly revised front end, giving the DS an even more elegant look. But as we always say: taste is subjective.
The body of this DS is finished in stylish Noir (black) with a beautifully contrasting Blanc Carrare (white) roof. A classic combination that gives the car an elegant appearance. The paintwork has a nice shine, looks tidy, and the panel gaps are well-aligned. The chrome parts, such as the bumpers, are in neat condition.
*Interior: French Luxury at Its Finest
*
Step inside, and you are greeted by an interior that exudes the right atmosphere. The beautiful cognac-colored leather upholstery is in fantastic condition. The seats are wonderfully comfortable, and the carpets look clean and fresh. The materials used are of top quality and perfectly match the car's timeless character. The dashboard and instrumentation are in very neat condition.
*Technical Condition: Recently Overhauled
*
Under the hood lies the delightful four-cylinder engine, which was fully overhauled just two years ago. It runs beautifully, starts without hesitation, and shifts smoothly thanks to the semi-automatic transmission.
This DS offers that unique ‘flying carpet’ feeling for which the car became so famous. This example is ready to hit the road, and we are confident that the drive will impress you.
*A Revolution on Wheels
*
When Citroën unveiled the DS at the 1955 Paris Motor Show, the world was stunned. An astonishing 12,000 orders were placed on the very first day — an unprecedented success! And rightly so, because the DS looked as though it had arrived straight from the future. The streamlined design by Flaminio Bertoni resembled a rocket on wheels. But the real revolution was hidden beneath the bodywork.
The DS was a technical marvel. Its legendary hydropneumatic suspension made the car exceptionally comfortable, giving the sensation of gliding along like a flying carpet. The semi-automatic gearbox, the push-button brake, and the innovative single-spoke steering wheel completed the futuristic vision. This wasn’t just a car — it was a glimpse into the future.
