most beautiful car ever made

[@LaProvinciale]

Da sempre l'auto dei miei sogni...! Vedere un video come questo, un restauro così amorevole e di altissimo livello, è un pochino come avere una Déesse. Complimenti!

[@citro-garage]

Grazie! Felice di aver offerto qualche emozione agli amanti di quest’opera d’arte.

[@nomebear]

These are collectible in the U.S., and I'm privileged to see them still on the road, although they're definitely well cared for.

[@citro-garage]

good to know that they are still appreciated in US! TKS!

[@jourwalis-8875]

A fantastic restoration! I wish I could do the same with my DS 23 IE Pallas -74.......

Très émouvant de voir renaitre une déesse. Définitivement La voiture, à des années-lumière des SUV parallélépipédiques et pachydermiques de la production actuelle. Un grazie di cuore a tutti pour la restauration de ce monument d’histoire et d’ingénierie automobile ! 🙂

thank you. I have not yet made a precise count, but surely over 18,000 euros of only spare parts and materials...

Fantastic! Bon coleur! Hvl.

[@citro-garage]

Thank you! Merci!

[@michel3anches]

buongiorno.Bellissimo lavoro, due precisioni: sulla DS non sono lungheroni, ma "caissons" in francese.!! E il scelto del tetto griggio , lo stesso della macchina, soleva questione...sarebbe bello in " beige" ?? differente.( michel francese anch'amoroso di quest'auto.Ne ho avuto due, rimorsi...)

[@citro-garage]

@@michel3anches Buongiorno, Longheroni is the Italian name for spars in English or caissons in French. The color of the roof is not the same of the body. The body is Gris Palladium AC108/B; The roof is Gris Argeant AC100, that was one of the two original possible combination, the other one for 1968 version, was AC200 Black! AC 100 passing the time and exposure to the sun light became more similar to beige.

[@otrebliGilberto1987]

Você vende o carro, ou só vídeo para demonstração?👍🇧🇷👍

[@Warpedsmac]

How is the fibre-glass roof attached to the rail?

[@citro-garage]

It is bolted. The fiberglass roof has a metal frame with appendices with holes and the bolts pass through the chassis frame and through the slots then the nuts from the inside of the roof tightens everything. In the latest versions the roof was just glued.

[@alro2434]

Poorly, leaks into the trunk frequently.

Why not orange turning indicators in the front?

Because in the 1968 the turning indicators in Italy had to be white.

Forse allora era un 68 immatricolata nel 69, perché il Gris Palladium non era più usato nel 69; oppure era un altro grigio?

Bonjour, un amoncellement d'images qui n'apportent pas un partage dans l'évolution de la restauration ! ne valait il mieux pas, effectuer plutôt qu'en 15 mn, une série d'épisodes plus prenants et finalement agréger une série d'abonnés supplémentaires ?

[@citro-garage]

Comme écrit dans la vidéo, la restauration avait été mieux documentée, mais la caméra a été volée. Heureusement, il reste des photos et des vidéos prises avec le téléphone qui documentent toutes les opérations les plus importantes sauf le moteur. Sur cette chaîne, vous pouvez trouver les autres restaurations faites comme des séries d’épisodes. Salut!

[@alaindeslandes4767]

@@citro-garage avec plaisir. Désolé pas vue le message concernant le vol. Une prochaine visite sera donc l'occasion de réviser mon premier jugement. Salut

[@jourwalis-8875]

The stainless steel exhaust in not the very best, and not original. It also has a higher sound level than the original, and also an other sound picture or character.

[@citro-garage]

The original exhaust is made of a very poor metal. Because the pipes are very long, they keep humidity and rusts very soon. Stainless steel is everlasting! The sound is the same because the silencers work good.

[@alro2434]

@@citro-garage Mufflers rarely rusted out, the flex pipe often fractured/broke and the tail pipes ALWAYS rusted out.

[@jourwalis-8875]

Not a very nice colour for a Pallas. Looks much better in a darker colour, like dark blue or black.

[@citro-garage]

It's only just a matter of personal preferences... I think DS is nice in cold colors and hot colors do not bring out the reflections of its beautiful lines

[@user-vm1yn2od3d]

Y do these car's look like a frog

[@citro-garage]

Strange idea you have about frogs.

Absolutely, in Portugal it was known as the ”boca de sapo” or, frog’s mouth!
