Nice car but I gotta believe those are seatcovers. Are they?

Dick, I like it! How about a parade version? (pic) Of course, this is 1:43 in scale.

This is one of my "rescue projects." I enjoy giving a model another chance. Thanks for your fine posts, Dick. I really appreciate them, and you.

They're getting hard to find at reasonable prices. So are the 2 CV's.

No not seat covers but that is how the seats are made.

Also the seats are solid foam rubber, no springs and so soft. The most comfortable seats in any car.

John, here is the SM. The seats are very different and not as soft as the DS but still very comfortable. Sadly the SM had a lot of engine problems with the Maserati V6 and they were expensive to fix.

David's model looks like an altered SM. Check out the front clip and rear end.
