Used Citroen ID for Sale near Okotoks, AB

This car is one of the most comfortable cars I have ever had the pleasure of driving. The oleopneumatic suspension system offers a ride that is not only smooth, but holds the road like it is on rails! 19 years of development before the first DS every rolled off any production line in France ensured that this car would be ahead of its time for years to come. The design and safety features of the DS include the stylized turn indicators at the rear roofline, and the engine set far back from the front bumper, behind the spare tire, behind the radiator, leaving plenty of room for crumple in a front collision. The interior of the car is cozy, but spacious. I have yet to find a blindspot, and the front seats - comfortable enough to make me conteplate removing them and replacing my living room couch with them - come complete with inflatable lumbar support. The sleek lines and gorgeous curves of the DS turn heads at every traffic light. Two thumbs up for this unique piece of French history!

The ID19 had suspension that was years ahead of it's time, futuristic styling that turns heads even now. The adjustable ride height was helpful as we lived in a farming community with terrible roads full of potholes. Engine was easy to maintain with a lot of space for the mechanic's hands This car was also capable of running on three wheels in a crisis.

It's almost 40 years old, what's to say? I like the fact that it was way ahead of it's time, with great fuel economy (26 highway for a '72 5 passsenger sedan), crumple zones, 3 point seatbelt harness in the rear seats, integral roll cage, self leveling suspension, self adjusting breaks, turning headlights, etc etc etc.

The DS was introduced to the public on Oct 6 1955. One year later the ID was introduced. It was a simpler version with Manual transmission, manual steering.A more conventional yet different braking system. The famous Hydronumatic suspension was preserved for this model. The D model had tear drop aerodynamics that were well ahead of it's time when most cars were shoe box in design the D model had an honest .38 Coefficent of drag with 19.5 square feet of frontal area. It was slick without the use of the add on ground effects which you see today. The Citroen ID also returned 28 to 30 MPG at a time when most american cars got 7 to 10 MPG. The Citroen D series is recognized as a "Milestone Car" from 1956 through 1963. What can I say? The day the D Series Citroen was introduced the automotive world changed. Today's modern car with aerodynamics, front wheel drive, rack and pinion steering, and unitized body was born.
