The Citroën DS 19 was a luxury passenger car that premiered in 1955 and remained in production until 1975. At its introduction, the car drew worldwide attention thanks to its innovative technology and modern design. The DS 19 stood out for its sleek silhouette, streamlined shape, and elegant chrome accents.
The Citroën DS 19 became famous as the car of Charles de Gaulle, the French president from 1959 to 1969. The spacious passenger cabin and comfortable leather seats made the model ideal as a diplomatic vehicle. The car became a symbol of French elegance and technological progress.
The DS 19 proved its reputation during the infamous assassination attempt on President De Gaulle, where two tires were riddled with bullets. Despite this, the driver managed to keep the car under control and the president escaped safely. This incident made the DS 19 legendary worldwide and confirmed its place in history.
