The eighth wonder of the world. The most wonderful car the world has ever seen. And the example in this video is a stunning example of the one and only Goddess.
What an exquisite automobile - I've loved the DS since I was a young lad over 60 years ago! The accompanying music - Luminescence - is perfection as well. If I could have any car in the world today (regardless of price) it would be this one! Thanks for sharing!
Timeless Style and Supreme Comfort. Imagine being an Australian at age 18 in 1971 getting your first car... An Aussie assembled 1962 ID19, then a 64 ID19, a 68 DS21 Hydraulic, a 1970 D Super, a couple of GSs and then THE SUPREME DS - A 1972 DS21 EFI Pallas 5 speed with leather followed later by a 1974 DS23 EFI Pallas 5 speed with Jersey... Slipped in between with a new 1978 CX Prestige EFI 5 speed with leather... low flying across the vast distances of the Aussie countryside....at 150-160 kph.... bliss.. DSs & 2CVs fueled a 52 year Citroen addiction Down Under - Still indulging in the passion...
Wat een droom. Alles past, zelfs de kofferklep. Het ziet er uit alsof kosten nog moeite gespaard zijn. Er is nooit een betere Citroen gebouwd dan de DS. Ik rij zelf in een CX Diesel hier in YVR, maar als ik dan een ritje mee mag met Gary Cullen zijn "Mint" 1968 DS-21, slaat mijn oude hart weer een paar slagen over. Well done Oldenzaal, Bas.
Просто е прекрасна😍! Невероятна е !!! Ако имах възможност... е нямам възможност! Но аз и така и се радвам от сърце на този прекрасен автомобил! Шедьовър😘!
This is early 1960s design. This design is about 25 to 30 years ahead of other vehicle designs. Other vehicle designers took long time to mount tail end lamps at roof level- eye level and get this shape in head lights .This is really a beautiful design. ❤
I got to 53 years ago for 3 years. I still miss it terribly but I am too poor to maintain one now so I drive a reliable old Corolla that rides like a cement mixer, but gives no problems.
superbe, je me souviens quand mon père venait me chercher avec la ds23 Pallas noire j avait 12ans on faisait le tour des ambassades a paris. j était tellement heureux. c était son travail.
Je dois rajouter une remarque importante concernant cette sublime création : UNE DS QUI SE DÉPLACE C'EST LA PLUS PARFAITE EXPRESSION DE L'ÉLÉGANCE AUTOMOBILE EN MOUVEMENT 🎉🎉🎉
Elle est magnifique, splendide, majestueuse, merveilleuse la DS 23 PALLAS, c'est plus qu'une voiture c'est une légende, en l'an 2000, à Milan, un jury regroupant des personnes du monde entier on définit la DS comme étant l'objet technologique représentant le mieux le 20ème siècle.

Have to say as pleased as I am to see this exceptional vehicle resorted and in use, the photographer was a centime short of the franc, handholding a camera and driving as he shoots the video
@@jeannemarddelislam1631 D accord avec vous. Les restaurations souvent sont plus soignées que les sorties d usine!! Mais le proprio a respecté le modèle d origine. C est ce qui m a plu.

@@jeannemarddelislam1631 bonjour. Maintenant je préfère les voitures en état d origine, même si elle n est pas parfaite. Une peinture cellulosique de traction est inimitable. Quelques rayures? Tant pis, j ai bien des rides. C est le vécu. J ai plusieurs ds dans les années 80, dont une 23ie, mais a l époque ça valait 5000 francs. Que de souvenirs!!
La Citroën D S est un chef d’œuvre. Elle devrait être encadrée et accrochée sur un grand mur du Louvre, et signé André. Voilà. Vive la France, le pays des merveilles.❤🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🎉👍👍💐🌷🌺🌾🍾
I owned one just like this in the late 90's. A left-hand drive DS23 Pallas which I sourced in Paris. Fantastic car. Very reliable. The driver of a Rolls Royce Silver Shadow once called across to me at traffic lights in London "Great car! More reliable than this (Shadow)" !
Fabulous low flying grand tourer. Superb for the open road here in Australia. Imagine if this had the new flat 6 emgine as intended, before they ran out of money. My first car in 1971 was an Aussie assembled 1962 ID19. IDs Assembly in Melbourne from 1961 to 1965. DSs imported. I had 3 x ID 19 A ID 20 Safari... Amazing sophisticated 7 seat beast of burden. DS21 Hydraulic change gearbox D Super DS 21 EFI Pallas 5 speed with leather. DS23 EFI Palls 5 speed with Jersey.. The best was the 1972 DS21 EFI Pallas. More free revving than 23. Also owned 3 x GSs CX PRESTIGE EFI 5 speed from new. 3 x 2CV6 from new Xantia turbo diesel C4 Cactus Pure Tech petrol from new. Citroen Addict for 52 years. The first car to circumnavigate Australia was a little 1923 Citroen 5CV in 1925 driven by 22 year old Seventh Day Adventist missionary Neville Westwood.
Out of curiosity, what was the perception of Citroens in Australia? I had heard from relatives who lived in Australia that they were derided for not being Holden or Ford
@@alfredsedgewick2184 Both Citroens and Peugeots were well regarded in Australia from the 1930s Traction, thru ID, DS, GS, to a lesser extent CX, BX and Xantia... Especially in the country. Peugeot 204, 404, 504 were even more highly regarded. Much more comfortable and faster and safer than home bred Holden's and Fords. The Citroen ID19 and 404 504 were assembled in Melbourne in the 1960s because of import tariffs to protect the local industries. By 1978 the import duty and sales tax amounted to 92.85%. You could have a car delivered overseas and if you had it continuously in your use and possession there was a sliding scale starting after 6 months to 100% duty and tax free after 15 months. In 1978 6,000 Aussies brought back Benz's, BMWs, Volvo's, Ferraris, Peugeots, Citr, Jags, Rovers and Morgan's. I bought a new RR Silver Shadow II at 24 with a loan and a colleague bought a CX Prestige. I also had a new Citroen 2CV6 for running around for work. After a year in the UK, I had 5 months youth hostelling around Europe swapping monthly between the Shadow and Prestige. My profit allowed me to lease the Prestige as my car once home plus I had a one third deposit on a house . I brought the 2CV6 back as second hand parts and two friends reassembled it for me. The first car to Circumnavigate around Australia was a little 1923 Citroen 5CV in 1925. DS and Peugeots did well in Rallies and Reliability Trials in Australia. Tractions, DSs and BXs did well in the Bathurst 500 mile endurance races where handling and brakes meant they were class leaders. Race Driver Peter McLeod bought in 48 used SMs from the US and restored plus upgraded them. He converted 18 to RHD. We have about 25 RHD SMs. Plus the only RHD GS Birotor in the world built by talented car club member Greg Fienberg, who went thru the parts catalogue to build one by hand. I have owned 17 Citroens over 52 years.
I was brought up with those, in fact I pretty much learnt to drive on the DSD. My folks had 4 of them ( one after the other - of course ). I loved those cars, wish I could afford one today !
Magnifique!voiture inégalée et inégalable.Il faut croire que Citroën l'a produite trop tôt.Et si sa production reprenait avec le même design mais de nouvelles optons et une meilleure motorisation?
Passed my driving test in a light 15 in 1964 at 19 years old then bought a 1954 DS19 RHD in poor condition whilst at college and spent many interesting hours getting it into a roadworthy condition. Loved it to bits but the body rot got too much for me to cope with in the end. I would happily buy either car today for the pleasure of driving them but haven't a garage to keep them in
Within the start of the second half of the 20th century this car is in my top 5 of the greatest designs. The top of the list is the Jaguar E Type, the XK’s from around 1950 ish and the Fiat 500 This Citroen had wonderful sleek lines etc but how did they decide on the Citroen Dyane. Design as different as chalk and cheese 🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴🏴❤️❤️👍 👍 😀
I would have thought that storing the spare tire in front of the radiator would block the flow of air and result in over heating issues. However the engineers some how came up with a solution.
The cooling air comes in from under the nose and passes to the radiator through a fabric shroud, which can be opened in winter to reduce the ram air effect and keep the engine from being overly cold.
I can’t imagine what would be wrong for Citroen to basically re-issue this car. modernize it technologically, changing none of it’s original aesthetic, they would sell millions.

I never tire of looking at this beautiful car. An ultimate classic in timeless design.
The most beautiful car ever designed.
So true.....
agree...for such a DS, I would KILL!!!
Una delle più belle .
I agree
What an awesome car!
La plus belle voiture de tout les temps laDS pallas 23,c'est le charme de la maison citorën. 3:18
la reine des voitures françaises à l'avance de son temps, elle exprime technologie et esthétique. bravo d'Algérie.
Beautiful Citroen DS. One of the best looking car designs in motoring history. Known as the goddess.
So true.....
And a Godess she was ..
Work of art.
And an engineering milestone too.
The eighth wonder of the world. The most wonderful car the world has ever seen. And the example in this video is a stunning example of the one and only Goddess.
DS opera d'arte consegnata all'eternità !

DSs & 2CVs fueled a 52 year Citroen addiction Down Under -
Still indulging in the passion...
It is Amazing . Something we never see here in the U.S. although I would love to.
For design and technics one needs to be in Europe ..... for the best music as well.
I saw a few of those in SoCal when I lived there in the mid 60s ..

It is rather a early 50s design! The DS was introduced alredy in 1955!
Compare this with a 1955 Chevy.
Different market.
@@johnreitz5676 that would be a crazy idea
1955 to be precise.
une voiture a l'avance de son temps. bravo pour citroen. bon courage d'algerie.
Magnifique restauration 👍
Magnifique et bien en avance sur son temps.
Those are so high on my want list. I'd love to try daily driving one for a year.
I got to 53 years ago for 3 years. I still miss it terribly but I am too poor to maintain one now so I drive a reliable old Corolla that rides like a cement mixer, but gives no problems.

Citroen DS 23 Pallas une beauté unique......................
With this shape and all of that beauty it’s a car begging to be electrified!
Simply stunning.
Maravilloso
The steering wheel is NOT a 1973/1974 original!!!
Very Sorry you always miss represent "something"!
Very nice example with perfect color combination… I thought DS23’s were all fuel injected…
The black citroen, beautiful car ever seen.
Hojala algún día pueda tener uno así.....
