1959 CITROEN DS-19 28,881 MILES

1059 Citroën DS-19 Description

AN EXTREMELY RARE AND IMPORTANT CAR FOR ANY SERIOUS CAR COLLECTION.

IF YOU ARE A CITROEN ENTHUSIAST, THEN THERE IS NO SENSE IN GOING INTO DETAILS DESCRIBING THE FEATURES OF THIS HISTORIC AND UNIQUE AUTOMOBILE. SUFFICE TO SAY, THIS IS AN OFFERING OF A VERY RARE AND DESIRABLE MODEL.

THIS IS A DS-19 NOT AN ID-19. THE DS WAS THE TOP OF THE LINE AND LIMITED PRODUCTION. THIS DS, IS ALSO AN EXPORT MODEL, AND IT HAS ONLY TRAVELED 28,000 MILES FROM NEW. IN A SENSE YOU MIGHT THINK OF IT AS A BARN FIND, SINCE IT SPENT MOST OF IT’S LIFE IN STORAGE. AFTER A TWO YEAR COSMETIC AND MECHANICAL REFBURBISH/RESTORATION, THE CAR HAS BEEN BROUGHT BACK TO IT’S ORIGINAL CONDITION WITH NO SHORT CUTS AND STRESSING ORIGINALITY.

ALL THE MECHANICS OF THIS CAR HAVE BEEN, DISASSEMBLED, CHECKED, ANYTHING SHOWING ANY SIGN OF WEAR OR FATIGUE, HAS BEEN REPAIRED OR REPLACED WITH NEW ORIGINAL CITROEN PARTS. IT CERTAINLY RUNS JUST AS IT DID, WHEN IT LEFT THE FACTORY IN 1959.

THE BODY WAS TOTALLY DISASSEMBLED, PAINT STRIPPED, AND ALL PANELS, DOORS, FENDERS, HOOD, AND TRUNK WERE PAINTED INSIDE AND OUT USING NOT ONLY THE CORRECT ORIGINAL COLOR, BUT ALSO USING THE ORIGINAL PAINT FORMULA AND MATERIALS.

NEW MICHELIN TIRES WITH AN ACCESSORY ATLAS WHITE WALL WERE INSTALLED TO GIVE IT, THAT CORRECT 50’S LOOK THAT WE ALL REMEMBER SO WELL.

OTHER THAN THE HEADLINER, AND THE CARPET WHICH HAVE BEEN REPLACED, THE INTERIOR DOOR PANELS AND SEAT UPHOLSTERY ARE THE ORIGINAL FACTORY, WITH NO RIPS TEARS OR STAINS. THERE IS SOME SLIGHT FADING ON THE TOP OF THE REAR SEAT.

ALL INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS HAVE BEEN CHECKED AND WORK EXACTLY AS THEY SHOULD. THE WINDOW GLASS IS THE ORIGINAL FACTORY, WITH NO CRACKS OR CHIPS AND IS STILL CRYSTAL CLEAR.

THE GREATEST ISSUE WITH THESE CARS HAS ALWAYS BEEN RUST. THIS VEHCILE AT NO TIME CURRENTLY OR IN IT’S HISTORY HAD ANY RUST ISSUES.

IF YOU WANT TO FEEL AS THOUGH YOU ARE BACK IN 1959, SITTING IN AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE OF A CITROEN, THEN THIS MIGHT JUST BE THE CAR FOR YOU. WHETHER YOU WANT A SHOW CAR, CRUISER, OR MUSEUM PIECE FOR YOUR COLLECTION, PLEASE GIVE THIS ONE A GOOD HARD LOOK.

THANK YOU FOR VIEWING OUR OFFERING. THIS IS A GREAT CAR AT A SUBSTANTIAL, BUT FAIR PRICE. WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE BEFORE BIDDING. SHOULD YOU WISH TO DO SO, OR TO SEND A REPRESENTATIVE TO VIEW THE CAR ON YOUR BEHALF, WE WOULD BE PLEASED TO ACCOMMODATE.
