Seller's comments about 1963' Citroen DS

The introduction of the Citroën DS and ID series changed the automotive world forever, but it was master coachbuilder Henri Chapron who realised the ultimate expression of this visionary design. The ‘Cabriolet d’Usine’—the highly coveted factory convertible—was available exclusively by special order through the official Citroën dealer network.This is not a standard conversion, but a technical masterpiece resting on a specifically reinforced chassis (Type CITR-022). With a total production of only 1, 365 examples worldwide, this is one of the most sought-after icons in automotive history.This particular 1963 example tells a unique and heartwarming story. In over sixty years, the car has been owned by only two families.Its journey began in Mayenne, France, where the owner of a local Citroën workshop purchased the car new, later passing it on to his daughter. In 1998, the car moved to the Netherlands, where it has since been cherished within the current family with the utmost precision and care.Unlike many static museum pieces, this ID 19 is a true ‘Grand Tourer’. The car has completed memorable journeys through Corsica, Spain, and Italy. The ultimate proof of its indestructible quality?
