The Citroën DS 19 Cabriolet, introduced in the mid-1960s, represents one of the most elegant and desirable versions of Citroën’s revolutionary DS line. The DS, launched in 1955, was already famous for its futuristic design by Flaminio Bertoni and its advanced engineering, including hydropneumatic suspension, power steering, and disc brakes—all groundbreaking features for the era.
The Cabriolet, or Décapotable, version was built in limited numbers by the coachbuilder Henri Chapron, who transformed the sleek DS sedan into an open-top grand touring car. The 1965 DS 19 Cabriolet combined the DS’s trademark aerodynamic styling with the glamour of a convertible, making it one of the most stylish cars of the 1960s.
Its long, flowing lines, comfortable ride, and technical sophistication made it a favorite among the wealthy and fashionable. Today, surviving examples are highly sought after by collectors and are considered icons of French automotive design. Below is a collection of beautiful photos of the 1965 Citroën DS 19 Cabriolet.
