Citro\u00ebn\u2019s iconic spaceship-like DS made its debut at the 1955 Paris Auto Show, where the unmistakable sheet metal garnered over 80,000 orders by the end of the week. The DS platform was far ahead of its time, featuring hydraulic systems for the brakes, steering, and transmission, and most notably a revolutionary hydro-pneumatic suspension. This specific advancement in automotive technology made the DS one of the most stable autobahn cruisers ever created, and allowed for self-leveling, decreased dive under braking, jack-less tire changes\u2014the car could raise an individual wheel\u2014and an unparalleled luxurious ride. Moreover, the unique style of the DS made it an attractive canvas for coachbuilders such as Henri Chapron; custom Citro\u00ebns subsequently sustained the art into the 1970s.<\/p>\n

Citro\u00ebn enthusiast Jeffrey Fisher likens Citro\u00ebns to couturier dresses\u2014\u201cbecause they featured some of the highest number of interior and exterior permutations for a car ever.\u201d The Tour poster features three cars from Fisher\u2019s collection that illustrate the progression of the Citro\u00ebn DS from middle class family car to post-war work of art.<\/p>\n
