Description
On 6 October 1955, the DS 19 was presented at the motor show to the public - The champagne-colored body with an aubergine roof.
This one for sale was ordered 15 days after the show closed. It bears no. 224466.
The second owner took it to a DS specialist, Denis Arnoult. Denis is especially passionate about first-generation DS cars. It was him who restored it completely and repainted it in 2008-2009. I bought it afterwards.
