Description
First shown at the 1955 Salon de Paris, the DS immediately caused a sensation.
Its styling – the combined work of Italian industrial designer Flaminio Bertoni and French aeronautical engineer André Lefebvre – was deemed out of this world… quite literally, the car gaining the nickname of the ‘flying saucer.
This shock tactic didn’t hurt sales one bit, as Citroen claims to have taken more than 80k orders during the 10-day event.
Affection for this most Citroen of Citroens increased exponentially and soon, we all came to call this tear-drop shaped beauty a ‘goddess’.
A nickname somewhat assisted by Citroen itself as the word déese is the French for goddess.
It wasn’t just a looker either, the DS was ingenious under that steel and fibre glass (roof) skin.
Fluid-filled suspension, peer around the corner headlights and power steering all made the DS an engineering marvel.
Between 1955 and April 1975 more than 1.45 million were made in six countries (including Britain).
