Le Bon Citroen!
You haven't really lived until you've driven a Citroen, aside from the other worldly style and advanced engineering, the ride is like a magic carpet.
I've had cars from all over the world....England, France, Germany, Italy, Sweden, the USA..and hands down the most entertaining were the French ones.

Citroen.....
I haven't driven cars from all over the world, but I have driven a Citroen, and I agree that it is an exciting car. It has a ride like no other. My friend Joe Gaskill, who has since passed, and I, both had a Citroen top of the line sedan (can't remember the letter designation) loaned to us by a dealer, for an afternoon, and had a ball. Spent 10 minutes in a service station looking for the gas filler cap; it was in the trunk. The radio was on a stalk that you could move around. We loved it. I also had an experience with a DS sedan, when I was just 18. Unbelievable car, I have about 100 Citroen models, of all types. They are wonderful cars.

My first experience was a CX....
...during a vacation in France, on the auto route cruising at 100 mph, even an S class didn't provide the absolute serenity of that car. It's regrettable the only examples available in the States are in miniature.

Great Citroen! The early DS for some reasons reminds me of the '53 Studebaker, except
Citroen's engineering was more challenging. Good model you have there!

The DS19 was so popular back in its heyday that Corgi, Dinky, and Matchbox all made one.
Pretty rare that all three of the old guard diecast imports to the US would do this. The only other three-peat I can think of offhand was the Jaguar 3/4/3.8 liter sedan (saloon). Here's my Corgi (yes, a little under 1/43 scale):
