A brief history of DS

DS Automobiles was founded in 1955 by French racing driver Jean-Albert Grégoire. His aim was to develop a range of sports cars that were not only fast and powerful but also luxurious and comfortable. The first car, the DS19, was unveiled at the 1955 Paris Motor Show. It had a fabric roof, leather seats and air conditioning as standard equipment.

The DS19 proved very popular with buyers in the UK and other European countries. By 1960, more than 12,000 units had been sold worldwide. Unfortunately for Grégoire, he experienced financial difficulties during this time and had to sell his company to Citroën in 1958.

In 1968 Citroën launched its own version of the DS19 – called the DS21 – which incorporated subtle styling changes from its predecessors such as wider headlights and an extended rear end with fins across both sides of the boot lid. However, it wasn’t until 1974 when the model received a major redesign that it became known as simply “The Citroën DS” (in English). This new version came with improved suspension and brakes plus new options such as airbags.
