Citroen DS 19 Sedan 1/16 Heller - glue and paints

At the management of CITRO-N, it is estimated that the standard of living of the French and Europeans will rise, we have just successfully launched the 2 CV and we must find an heiress to the 15 and 11 CVs. The VGD (Car a Grande Diffusion) project, whose first sketches date back to 1945, takes shape. The management is entrusted to Andre LEFEBVRE who resolutely opts for all-round innovation. The bodywork will be the domain of Flaminio Bertoni, the suspension that of Paul Magès. For the engine, Pierre Bercot takes over the study of the old 1911cc D engine. At the end of 1954, the project was frozen in its entire total. October 1955, the 42nd Motor Show. The first thing that strikes is its aesthetic, unheard of. It will divide France in two: the "for" and the "against". But the novelty is not limited to the bodywork, the hydropneumatic suspension ensures unparalleled comfort with four independent wheels, plastic becomes an important element of the body with the pavilion and rear window as well as the lightweight alloys for the hood. This is followed by so many new details: from the steering wheel to a branch to the flashing spindles through doors without glass studs.
