Antoine and Bebert, since you two seem to know a lot about the DS. Can you confirm this (extracted from 50 Years Of Classic Cars by Jonathon Wood): "French production continued until April 1975, by which time one and a half million Citroen DS' had been built."
Is this true (*by the way, I am laughing really hard right now)? So, if it is, this means "this revolutionary car" that stayed in production TWO TIMES AS LONG as the entry-level, compact sedan called the FORD TEMPO, yet the Tempo outsold the DS by over TWO MILLION!
DS> 20 years of production
Tempo> 10 years of production
DS> North America and Europe
Tempo> North America
DS> 1 and a half million
Tempo> 3 million
Also, just so we got this cleared up, the DS and Tempo had only 9 years apart (DS>1975, Tempo> 1984).
Also included in this book is the Citroen 2CV and Traction Avant. Is it true, when the entire world was getting into aerodynamics, that the 2CV had 1940s styling in the 90s? Or that in the 50s, the Traction looked like a 1930s car?
