Just looking at this Gallic design classic makes you want rush to Lyon, order a strong Caf\u00e9 Noir and light up lung bustin\u2019 Gauloise or two.<\/strong><\/p>\n

These shots are of an extremely rare 1966 DS21 ‘Decopotable’, the coachwork for which was rendered by Henri Chapron.<\/p>\n

Chapron set up his Atelier in a Paris suburb in 1919 and in the1950s he was drawn to the new Citroen DS which was a state of the art piece of tech back then with its revolutionary aerodynamics and innovative hydraulic suspension.<\/p>\n

Chapron bought standard DS models one at a time and customised them for resale as the now much sought after \u2018Decopotable\u2019 (simply French for convertible) models. In total he hand built 389 of them.<\/p>\n

2015 marks the 60th<\/sup> birthday of the DS line and to celebrate Citroen will have a strong presence at next years London Classic Car Show (8-11 Jan) to celebrate.<\/p>\n

If you drop by in January you can view Monsieur Chapron\u2019s handiwork in person. Strong black coffee will be available but the organisers say smoking is not permitted\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n
