Back in April 1971After visiting the Montreal International Auto Show, I fell in love with Citroën DS. The following week I purchased the last 1971 DS with directional headlights from the Citroën dealer on Ste-Catherine Street in Montreal and traded it in for my 1968 Mustang GT. The 1972 Citroën models had just arrived and unfortunately on these new models Citroën complied with US regulations prohibiting the use of directional headlights and installed standard headlights which in my opinion ruined the 1972 DS model The front of the car.
All my friends couldn’t understand why a 25 year old Mustang owner would trade in this ugly car. I have been the proud owner of my DS for 54 years and those friends now admit it is one of the most beautiful cars ever built.
I have never driven my DS in the winter in all the years I have owned it, stored it in a heated and well-ventilated garage, and kept the car in showroom condition.
