A twofer of Citroën's hydropneumatic-suspensioned big sedans, the first from IXO Salvat of the 1956 DS 19. Not much detailing of the interior, but otherwise a very nice budget model.

Secondly, the facelifted version from 1973, the DS 23 Pallas, this one released by Whitebox and which has been issued a few times before on other associated labels in different colours as well. This shade of green, though, suits this car perfectly and this time the interior is also quite nicely detailed.

Those both look great. It has always been a unique design.

thanks Jani, great pics. The Hachette et al label has produced a large range of Citroens, from the 1920s through to the 80s. Heres a couple I have on their way to me from France.

The green car with the saddle interior is outstanding. Thanks for posting Jani.
