The Citroen DS stunned the world at its 1955 Paris Motor Show debut. Its futuristic, aerodynamic styling was matched by its advanced engineering, most notably the high-pressure hydropneumatic suspension system. This system controlled the self-leveling suspension, power steering, and power brakes, offering an unparalleled ride quality for its era.
Collectors are drawn to the DS for its avant-garde design and the unique driving experience its suspension provides. It's a true automotive icon that represents a high point of French industrial design and innovation. Top-tier Pallas and rare Décapotable (convertible) models, especially those by coachbuilder Henri Chapron, command the highest prices.
Buying Tips
- Thoroughly inspect the hydropneumatic system for leaks and slow operation; it's complex and expensive to repair. Ensure the correct hydraulic fluid (LHS or LHM) is used for the car's year.
- Check for structural rust, especially in the floor pans, chassis members, and inner sills, as the bolt-on body panels can hide significant corrosion.
- For convertibles, verify authenticity. Many are replicas; genuine Chapron-built cars have specific numbers and construction details that command a premium.
- Test the semi-automatic gearbox for smooth shifts. Hesitation or clunking can signal the need for adjustment or a costly clutch replacement.
- Examine the interior for completeness. Sourcing original trim pieces, switchgear, and upholstery for Pallas models can be difficult and expensive.
