This is one of the best DS driving videos out there. Great idea to sit in the back seat to get a wider perspective. Incredible that this platform came out in 1955.
NICE!!! A 5-speed DS with manual transmission and a pedal parking brake! Oh, I gotta get my DS running again sometime! But driving in Florida without air conditioning?
Does this car have a standard clutch activated by foot pedal? Because you waited so long in front of the traffic lights, 1st gear selected. With a standard clutch this means you have to press the foot pedal all the time, which causes wear for the declutching bearing. Going to neutral while waiting protects the clutch, IMHO...
Not a DS but an ID, DS has a hydraulic semi-automatic gear box without clutch pedal, however, ID has a manual gear box with clutch pedal, both are beautiful french cars, i'm french too...

DS has automatic clutch. ID has regular manual transmission and clutch.
@@pr7049 So it's an ID
Aren't the steering wheel pointing wrong when he's driving straight , it's a fantastic Car 👍
As far as I remember, the position chosen by Citroën is with the spoke between 7 and 8 of a clock-face.
@@htimsid okej you learn something every day, thanks 👍
I.D again... It is manual change.

Pour être précis ça doit être une D super 5 comme la mienne , je dis DS au commun des mortels 😂
Not true. DS also had a manual 5 speed gearbox
Hello, i'm french, since 1963/64 it's was possible to have manual gear box on DS !!!! . Bye.
