On October 6, 1955, the Citroën DS19 was introduced in Paris. More than 21 years after the introduction of the Traction Avant, another groundbreaking but not yet production-ready Citroën appeared. History repeated itself...

Once production started, the DS quickly became an integral part of the street scene, and remained so even long after the last example rolled off the assembly line after 20 years of production.

The DS and the DNA of its Divine Design lives on in several generations and fascinates many. This book offers something for everyone: historical information, new and inspiring facts and an abundance of stunning photos from brochures and private collections. The contents will amaze even the ultimate DS connoisseur.
