The Citroën DS 19 Décapotable was a classic convertible that was first presented in 1955 at the Paris Motor Show. It was part of the Citroën DS series, which was known for its innovative technological features and avant-garde design. The model was distinguished by its unique appearance, designed by the famous Italian designer Flaminio Bertoni! Its aerodynamic shape with rounded body and low profile was a real revolution at that time. One of the most distinctive features of the DS 19 Décapotable was its hydropneumatic suspension technology, which ensured excellent ride comfort and stability on the road. Under the hood of the Citroën DS 19 DECAPOTABLE was a four-cylinder gas engine with a displacement of 1911cm and a power of 83 hp. The car was equipped with front-wheel drive and a four-speed gearbox, which was innovative for the time. DS 19 Décapotable has gained immense popularity with the driving public, becoming a symbol of luxury and prestige. Its innovative technology and futuristic design attracted the attention of customers, and the car quickly gained international recognition. It was often chosen by famous personalities, including politicians, artists and celebrities. The EXECUTIVE EDITION block model from COBI respectfully recreates this icon of French motoring!
