I so respect Citroen's engineering in its hydraulic suspension system. When you raised the car, it is so wonderful. Getting out of your snow must be a bit of an overly difficult challenge. Thank you for your video upload. It was wonderful!

I owned a 1971 D-Special in the late 80s. It was a magnificent car. I was living in Vancouver at the time and had an honest, local specialty shop to look after it. But alas, even though the hydropneumatics held up, little things keeps kept breaking. The car was eating me out of house and home, so I had to give it up. Now I drive a Jaguar. (I know that sounds funny, but modern Jags are super reliable.) Cars are important to me. They must be designed with passion. I cannot imagine a car created with greater passion than the DS-series Citroen. I miss my D-Special. I know it's just a machine. But it felt as if that particular car was built for me alone. Always the sign of a great automobile, and nothing to do with price or prestige.

The non-USA 1968> headlight glasses will not fit on USA-headlighted cars as the headlight mounting sticks out past the fender line. Acrylic/Plexi covers are shaped to clear the bulge.Non-USA SM headlight glasses will fit on USA lights though the retaining stainless trims between the headlight glasses and the center number plate are shaped slightly differently.Acrylic headlight covers have been available for the SM. The original Sekurit/Cibié glasses are scarce and expensive. I got pretty good service out of the five Citroens I drove despite their state of neglect and abuse when I got them. Every other car I have had rode like a log wagon by comparison.Today a Citroen is just a badge-engineered Peugeot. The last hydraulique Citroen will be discontinued soon. Most hydraulics on all cars are supplanted by electric. The "DS" kind of oleopneumatics, despite upgrading with computer control, are more expensive and don't sell cars.

+mrmarco53 Non moving headlight . Same . Though i ' m sure without the cover it would be a mission to organise without the problem of grott traps . I understood you did not have a GS or BX , as you have not shown them ...... but did they get imported to the US ? The GS , i though was inspired , all the advantages of the DS , but without the gloss & the early BX had the quality of both & the early ones still had that idiosyncratic quality in the cabin ............. & then Citroen went boring . The Xantia has the shape & the suspension ..... but are soo much more FORD/GM . Why would we scare the horses ?

Reading some of the comments, some of you ignoramus's deserve the firing squad. This car came out at the Paris Auto show in 1955! In the first 15 minutes they sold 743 for a grand total 12.000 the first day. (Ouote from Wikipedia) It was revolutionary. Each wheel was independently sprung and self levelling. It had three ride hights, low, normal and high. It was one of the first cars to utilize Michelin Radial tires which we all drive on now. It had disk brakes, the suspension was a nitrogen and a special fluid which gave the it's legendary ride. Far ahead of any American makes or anybody for that matter. Educate your selves before you call a "frogmobile". This was a car so far ahead of its time it would still be modern by todays standards. It had a metal body and a fibreglass roof which could support the weight of the car. There are so many features of this vehicle which are in common use today that can trace their DNA directly back to this Car. One interesting historical fact: General De Gaulle gave full credit when he survived an assassination attempt when the cars self levelling suspension allowed him to survive and drive away on flat tires. From that day he refused to drive in anything that wasen't a Citroen DS.
