1972 Citroen DS

THIS 1972 CITROEN DS 21 IS LOCATED IN: RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CA 91739 The Citron DS (French pronunciation: sit n de. s) are front-engined, front-wheel drive executive cars manufactured and marketed by Citron from 1955 to 1975 in sedan/fastback, wagon/estate and convertible body configurations, across three series. Marketed with a less expensive variant, the Citron ID, the DS was known for its aerodynamic, futuristic body design and innovative technology, and set new standards in ride quality, handling, and braking - thanks to both being the first mass production car equipped with hydropneumatic suspension, as well as disc brakes. The 1967 series 3 also introduced directional headlights to a mass-produced car. Italian sculptor and industrial designer Flaminio Bertoni and the French aeronautical engineer Andr Lefbvre styled and engineered the car, and Paul Mags developed the hydropneumatic self-levelling suspension. Robert Opron designed the 1967 Series 3 facelift. Citron built 1,455,746 examples in six countries, of which 1,330,755 manufactured at Citrons main Paris Quai de Javel (now Quai Andr-Citron) production plant. In combination with Citrons proven front-wheel drive, the DS was used competitively in rally racing during almost its entire 20 year production run, and achieved multiple major victories, as early as 1959, and as late as 1974. It placed third in the 1999 Car of the Century poll recognizing the worlds most influential auto designs and was named the most beautiful car of all time by Classic & Sports Car magazine. The name DS and ID are puns in the French language. DS is pronounced exactly like desse, literally meaning goddess, whereas ID is pronounced as ide (idea). 1972 CITROEN DS21 CLEAN TITLE IN HAND SILVER EXTERIOR WITH A BLACK ROOF OVER A GRAY CLOTH INTERIOR 2,175CC INLINE-FOUR ENGINE 4-SPEED SEMI-AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE SINGLE WEBER DOWNDRAFT CARBURETOR SELF-LEVELING HYDROPNEUMATIC SUSPENSION, POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES WITH FRONT DISCS AND REAR DRUMS 15 STEEL WHEELS WITH CHROME COVERS AND 205/65 RADIAL TIRES THE INTERIOR FEATURES GRAY MICROSUEDE CLOTH UPHOLSTERY WITH MATCHING DOOR PANELS, GRAY CARPETS, PALLAS-STYLE REAR WINDOW SHADES, POWER-OPERATED FRONT DOOR WINDOWS, PIONEER STEREO WITH USB AND BLUETOOTH CONNECTIVITY, AND A TRUNK-MOUNTED JBL AMPLIFIER REFURBISHMENT WORK BETWEEN 2018 AND 2020 INCLUDED A REPAINT ALONG WITH REPLACEMENT TRIM, WEATHER STRIPPING, CARPETS, UPHOLSTERY, HEADLINER, DOOR HANDLES, DOOR PANELS, REPLACEMENT UNDER HOOD INSULATION PANEL, NEW REAR EXHAUST PIPING, AND A REPLACEMENT MUFFLER NOT RUNNING DUE TO SITTING FOR A FEW YEARS HERE IS YOUR CHANCE TO OWN THIS GREAT CLASSIC!
