The Most Comfortable car i have ever Driven, was lucky enough to drive DS 21 in 1973 brand new, from London to Manchester & back & i was 21 years old & till this day nothing has come near its comfort. With its Stunning Interior and smooth ride Headlights that turn when you turn around corners, just absolutely Fabulous Car, & you don't need to jack it up to change a wheel. Stunning.
My favorite classic car. I live en grew up in the Netherlands nearby Amsterdam, and in my youth it was a normal sight on the road these cars. I ones owned a Citroen CX, but the DS will always be my favorite. This one however is in a beautifull shape, and i am in love with the blue color. And offcourse the two-tone roof.
it was and still is a futuristic and ahead of its time with technology unheard-of in those days. My dad was one of the first to own the SM version in early seventees, to this day still an eye dropping car.
Une magnifique restauration pour ce mythe de l'automobile française. Je note que vous avez conservé la plaque d'immatriculation française à l'arrière. En France les phares à l'avant étaient protégés par une vitre. Que de souvenirs, mon papa a possédé plusieurs DS et ID19. Merci pour ce partage.
You have a car....... from the future !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! .............................first introduced to the world in 1955 Greetings from Australia ...well done Les Griffiths
Beautiful condition. I owned a DS 21 Non Pallas for 9 years until 13 months ago. 5 speed manual with fuel injection. Easily the most comfortable car l have owned.
Fun facts. The DS/ID cars have the fuel tank under the rear seat. The later DS 23 Pallas cars have self closing front doors, the rear doors are not self closing. The DS23 Pallas have two sets of horns , a normal set of twin horns, and a set of Italian Fiamm air horns. Pulling the horn lever towards you actuates the normal horns, pulling the lever all the way actuates both sets of horns .
Beautiful Citroen. Stunning interior, very stylish. Must be nice driving it, I imagine it would be a smooth ride. Especially with its pneumatic suspension.
So true. There is no other car in the world with a more comfortable suspension and ride! (Except some Rolls Royce and Mercedes models which had the hydropneumatic suspension system under license from Citroen!)
La marque Citroën a bien contribué à l'évolution de l'automobile d'ailleurs avec l'apparition de la fameuse DS elle a pu démontrer qu'elle était belle et bien en avance sur plein d'autres marques

These Cars have always been one I would love to own . You don't see many in the US, the only Citroen I have seen is a couple of 2CVs and I like them also. The DS 21 is my dream Car. Thanks for the video.

Une ode à la DS, une déclaration d’amour mieux que toutes les pubs du monde. Il y a toujours eu des Ds dans ma famille. Mon père, 3 dont une de 1957 (liquide rouge qui pissait), puis moi-même 4 dont la dernière une 23 IE de 1974, extraordinaire voiture, jamais eu mieux. Actuellement aux mains d’un collectionneur célèbre, restaurée comme neuve. Et maintenant mon fils qui les collectionne!
Did you know that, with the hood open, for example for an engine inspection, you did not need to return to the passenger compartment to start. A starter was next to the battery! Practical during mechanical interventions! Savez-vous que sur les modèles à double phares, les longues portées tournaient avec les roues, éclairant l’intérieur des virages!!
So long trip in hot californian weather without a functioning air-condition?? Unbelievable! I really miss air condition here in the Swedish summer with my DS 23 IE Pallas! Would have loved to have it!
I dont get this. You can buy a Fort T wreck, drop a semi engine in it, shop the roof off and lower the suspension to the point it sparks when you drive on the flattest highway and it's road legal somehow. But french road legal lights? Non monsieur!
What engine oil you used? Too much noise indicates bad lubrication..I can help you to reduce the noise , extend engine life, reduce emissions and save ⛽️
Always loved the design and the comfort of the DS21, but the build quality was horrible. Blue and red are a perfect colour scheme for this innovative car from the mid 1950s. Good luck!
It has no clutch pedal. But two idle-rev-speeds. If you press the brake the revs drop to 800 rpm. With released brake it revs at 1000 rpm. The clutch starts to get in contact and to slip a little. The car begins to roll. If the rev gets higher the clutch closes more. Nice and easy to drive if everything is maintained perfectly. If not - ...
The suspension spheres is not original (at least not at the front). Should be of the old, divisible type, not the sealed CX-type! A bit slow on raising. And the rear end should raise first, not the front!
Brake- and tail-lights in the same lamp. Not very good. The original french/european arrangement with separate brake- and tail-lamps is much better, and safer!

Love it!
I've owned a Citroen AX, BX and GS. Cool cars, all of them.

This thing has more levers than an amusement park ride. I want one.

Magnificent car, lucky you
As you maybe notice, there are frameless windows on all four doors on this car! Amazing! And very elegant......
I love this car, I had once a CX, still my best car ever as this new scrap cars
MERAVIGLIOSAMENTE STUPENDA 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
If they were made today, I would buy one.

The only french "voiture" that i would love to have! And the 2CV...or a Clio Williams...😅 Vive la France ( the old one...) 🇫🇷
La vraie France.
Never noticed before, but it has all door gaps sealed with rubber, really cool for this era.
Not unusual at all, for Citroen!
Rover P6 doors were sealed similarly.
Mais quelle beauté cette DS!!! 💕
Bleu France 🇫🇷
I had a DS21. The police used to write fines by claiming that the brake pedal had too much travel. They were stumped when they saw the rubber ball.

Wenn der heute rausgekommen würde,das wer ein Renner für Citroen.
Ich lieb diese Autos,keine aktuelle Konserven Dosen
Toujours bluffant le mouvement de caisse avec l'hydro......unique au monde......
The original radio! Fantastic!!
Fantastic car
les ingénieurs actuel n'ont pas fait mieux question beauté confort tenue de route éh oui il n'y avait pas la clim à cette époque
La più bella! 😍
Congratulations, exelente
Wow beautiful
This is awesome!
E la migliore di tutte le auto

The lights have been modified in orded to follow US regulations?
such a cool car -love the US SPEC, so pleased i have one too, must do a tribute of mine to yours
Hi. Can you fold down the rear seats? Thanks.
Bardot on wheels
You’re right on point. 👍🏼
Merci pour la vidéo merci merci!!!!!
The car aged much better though.
Molto bella!🥰
Oh those Federal lamps ruin the DS Put back the swivels Its part of its character !

What engine oil you used? Too much noise indicates bad lubrication..I can help you to reduce the noise , extend engine life, reduce emissions and save ⛽️
How did you rebuild the engine to euro spec if these is a carburetor based engine?
Thanks for asking. Citroen Classics of America modified the cylinder heads and valve seats, and I believe also worked on intake and exhaust
Always loved the design and the comfort of the DS21, but the build quality was horrible. Blue and red are a perfect colour scheme for this innovative car from the mid 1950s. Good luck!
Very strange filming of the undercarriage! The car looks like a cylinder. But very funny to watch! How was it done?
Thanks for asking. I placed a go pro on the ground, set on ultra wide angle, and drove over it
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
What viscosity oil? Can synthetic be used?
What's the paint name? Looks like it's non-OEM. Seems to be a darker Delta Blue.
I believe it’s paint code B568M. Non-OEM
Lovely..Is there a clutch pedal?If there is,is it used for every shifting or only for first motion and stop?
There’s no clutch pedal
That model has an automated hydraulic powered clutch if I am correct. The third pedal is the handbrake.
It has no clutch pedal. But two idle-rev-speeds. If you press the brake the revs drop to 800 rpm. With released brake it revs at 1000 rpm. The clutch starts to get in contact and to slip a little. The car begins to roll. If the rev gets higher the clutch closes more.

Price now 2 Day?
