Citroen DS 19 Sedan 1/16 Heller

At the MANAGEMENT of CITROËN, we estimate 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 CV. It is the VGD project (Voiture a Grande Diffusion) whose first sketches date back to 1945, which takes shape. The management is entrusted to Andre LEFEBVRE who resolutely opts for innovation in all directions. 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 D engine of 1911 cm3. At the end of 1954, the project was frozen as a whole. October 1955, the 42nd Motor Show. The first thing that strikes is its aesthetic, unheard of. It will divide France into two: the 'fors' and the 'cons'. But the unpublished is not limited to the body, the hydropneumatic suspension ensures unparalleled comfort with four independent wheels, plastic becomes an important element of the body with the pavilion and the rear window as well as the light alloys for the hood. So many new details follow: from the steering wheel to a branch to the spindle turn signals through doors without window posts.
