@@A.Dude. Frenchman here. I agree. Once upon a time Citroën was a unique brand that manufactured great, some of them exceptional, cars such as the DS (the real one, not today's brand), the SM, the 2CV... Now it's just another branch of the Stellantis group that makes mainstream vehicles resembling umpteen others. This bland new automobile world of boring clones and gross SUV's has killed it.
Citroën got it right with the DS! I live in a northwest U.S. city, and there are five or more Citroën DS in my immediate neighborhood that are being used as daily drivers. Two dark green, one black, and two white. Granted, the owners are most likely experts on the maintenance and repair of the cars, but they are still head turners and appear solid. There's also a silver CX GTi, and a very nice looking 2CV Charleston that are looking for new owners.
Lovely, rare this version with air conditioning, dashboard Jaeger and the later included 5th gear. I have the model 1968, just a dream these divine cars.
Was waiting for the last gear shift, even though this car was not fitted with a five speed when new, it sounded to tight/short in gear changes for a four speed. The retrofitted 5 speed gearbox only makes this perfect car more perfect. Second gen front and with everything that goes with it, Jaeger dash and a five speed gear box is a great mix. And it looks like it might be Gris Nacre as well? That's a nice silver colour. It's silver but not to bright to hide the chrome (stainless) trim.

Magnificent, Elegant... and sophisticated! Iconic slopey dash Pallas... Just needs the Citromatic hydraulic gearchange to be the ultimate D Except for Chapron Decapotables...
Un coche muy adelantado a su tiempo, una maravilla de las maravillas, no como ahora que todos los coches parecen iguales, también y por desgracia, los Citroën.
That gearchange looks to have been very much a two-stage process - out of old gear. pause in neutral, into new gear. Was that imposed by the gearbox itself or by the convoluted rods/cables for the column change?
Nothing in cars has aged better than the DS.
So true!

Never again
Maybe an e type jag
Compared to the actual plastic interior design this looks so high quality and modern, amazing. And the engine in top shape
Is it for sale?
@@stefankatafainot in the slightest, still pretty
Henri Chapron style DS it is
This is what real luxury looks like. And everything was decades ahead of its time. Thank you for the experience!
I owned a 72 Pallas for 25 yrs. Totally amazing and reliable too with love 100,000 miles put on it!
This video captures the precision of DS steering. Loo how effortlessly responsive it is. It’s hard to appreciate until you drive one
What a gorgeous majestic machine, looks like a very comfortable place to be, who needs a Rolls Royce when you have French Chic!!!
RR has this suspension IIRC
@@GhtPTR Jay Leno has said that it riddes better than a RR.
This chic is STILL magnifique!! :)
Excellent car! this model represents the perfection that Citröen had in design, elegance and powerful.
💯
Fantastic vehicle.I was surprised that it had 5 gears.Thanks for the video.
This old model didn´t have a 5 speed gear box. It must have been retro fitted.
I also have a hard time believing that it came with the Jägerdials and (!) the A/C. Basically it is a fully equipped car, which is awesome.@@jourwalis-8875
@jourwalis-8875 lately high end models had 5 gears and airco as an option
5 speed gearboxes became available in 1970 as an option
It's a show stopper for every period of time - sheer brilliance.
The most beautiful car ever designed.
Agree. :)
Wat een prachtige automobiel! Z'n tijd ver vooruit, zeer smaakvol.
GLIDING.
Mint condition DS Pallas - driving this ICONIC car must be an awesome feeling and a great joy.
Probablement la plus belle voiture du deuxième et du troisième millénaire.
Impressively smooth
The quintessence of beauty and elegance. Every detail of the interior is a masterpiece❤
💯
L'époque quand Citroën faisait de vraies voitures.
Right! Today's Citroens are GARBAGE!

It's just like floating on air ! Excellente !

It's an after market AC though, is it not?
Looks so smooth!
It’s the roads that are smooth
My favorite dashboard design on the DS's.
Eleganza, classe, tecnologia, personalità.
Una delle auto più belle di sempre.
It has been ... it is my dream car - Good morning 🙂
Wat zweeft dit toch mooi🤩🤩❤ die rust hoe de auto over de weg zoeft, geweldig gewoon🖖

I seen this car when I was a child in the '70s. It was really amazing and actractive. 💯

If i win the lottery, the first thing on the list will be.....
Same here!!
j'ai l'argent mais où en trouver une belle énovée en bon état
Me too !!
Me too..., we once had the DS Super 5, 2.2 litres, 5 speed..., she was fantastic, though for sure not a Pallas.
Wunderschön, sehr futuristisch und schick.
I love this interior with the old dashboard.
It also have single headlights.
Must be early 60s.
It just glides, beautiful machine.
Extraordinary car with extraordinary personality. 👍🏻
What an absolute spaceship. Goddamn beautiful... timeless.

Smooth like silk.
Perfection on 4 wheels..... ❤
Amazing cars, very smooth drive ❤
Would have liked to see the exterior, too!
What a beautiful machine
Beautiful. Incomparable. Steering wheel a little askew?

E' unica ..... meravigliosa e irripetibile ! 👏👏👏
Une voiture formidable, merci. Gérard de Nice.

Dashboard is amazing
Merci pour la balade en DS

That is very cool.
This is joy. ❤
We seem to have gone backwards, cars today are so dark, dull and soulless

Magnífico !!!
Un coche muy adelantado a su tiempo, una maravilla de las maravillas, no como ahora que todos los coches parecen iguales, también y por desgracia, los Citroën.
Rien qu'en regardant la vidéo on sent la souplesse et la puissance du véhicule.
I wonder why is the steering wheel turned to the right at all times? Should not the one spoke in the wheel be vertical when driving straight?
Cool Car 😊
A very nice ride 😊👍
This Thing flies like plane ... Magic carpet ... 🚙👍🛩
but what would it retail for if they made it again? too much I think ..
Waar is de AC condensor gemonteerd ? Niet erg duidelijk op de fotos
The best car of his time!
That gearchange looks to have been very much a two-stage process - out of old gear. pause in neutral, into new gear. Was that imposed by the gearbox itself or by the convoluted rods/cables for the column change?
It's time French to make a new cover version of this fantastic machine!
Nearly bought one of those some years ago
I remember 3 on the tree but 5 that’s the best.
As this video shows perfectly, the light clutch and the column shifter are also more than superior in the DS.
Una macchina fantastica ❤
Very nice. I’d love a SM.
The Steering wheel is not centered
Disegnata da Flaminio Bertoni uno scultore e stilista Italiano che ha disegnato anche la 2CV
My dream, AMAZING CAR
Una splendida macchina...!!!!
Ça c'est de la vraie voiture
Looks like interior is very tight.
Quelle cylindrée.quelle puissance ?
Levier de vitesses au volant... des souvenirs anciens.
Dream car
Qu'elle intérieur magnifique. 😮😊
Dream car!👍✨
It has a clutch-pedal? I thought all DS had semi-automatic?
Manual clutch offered as an option from 1970.
@@itstheterranaut I see. BTW: A beautiful car! 🤗
Very elegant... Radio is a bit of a reach 😀 but I'm guessing maybe it didn't have one as standard?
Smooth as butter....
was the steering wheel supposed to be in that position? cause that had me triggered the whole ride.
The position of the steering wheel could use a correction. 😎
Incorrect - that steering wheel is exactly as it was designed to be. Nothing wrong with it here. You
