Seller's description

This Citroen DS 21 Cabriolet Usine originates from an Italian collection and represents one of the most legendary and most prestigious convertibles of our time. The car was entirely overhauled some time ago, whereby much attention was paid to preserve the original components. For example, the thick seat paddings show traces of age and wear, which results in a beautiful patina and make the car even more desirable.

Citroen
The brand name Citroën traces back to André Citroën (1878-1935). On a trip through Poland in 1900, André Citroën bought a patent for a manufacturing method for a gear-cutting machine to produce angle teeth for gear wheels. The double angle as trademark symbolizes this technique until today. In 1905 he founded a company for the manufacture of gears together with three partners. After the end of World War I, Citroën began with the large-scale production of automobiles.
