And why? The DS was a huge leap in car design, functionally and visually. Is there any wonder that the crowds were impressed at the 1955 Paris Motor Show?
I rode in a DS just once (in the mid 1970s) and do you know what impressed me the most?
Well, the external shape was one thing, the bench seats another, but it had to be the steering wheel. Amazing.
The power of design.
