1955 Citroen DS 19
Capacity: 1911 cc
Max power output: 75 bhp at 4500 rpm
Max speed: 140 km/h
Presented at the 1955 Paris Show as a successor to the famous “Traction Avant”, the Citroën DS 19 is one of the most representative cars of the post-war years. Certain highly significant innovative construction features, such as the hydro-pneumatic suspensions, the steering, brakes (front disc brakes) and gear change hydraulically assisted by a single control centre, were supplemented by this two volume body with an accurately aerodynamic line, a very rigid monocoque metal structure and reduced weight. Almost one and a half million of them were produced up to 1975.
