AI Listing Summary
This 1962 Citroën DS 19 Décapotable, offered at auction, boasts a striking Citroen yellow exterior with a black leather interior and canvas top. Originally part of the Gotz collection in Germany, the car has been recently imported to the US, though there are discrepancies regarding its engine, transmission, and Chapron origins. Estimate revised to $70,000-90,000.
