These brakes are marvelously powerful, but fully controllable over a total travel of 1/4 INCH with full pressure feedback - still nothing like them. But the brilliance goes further: The champignon (Fr. for mushroom) pedal button is LOWER than the loud pedal, which means you DON'T LIFT your foot off the accel. pedal to go to the brake. This feature has to give the driver an extra fraction of a second to get on the brakes vs any other design, yet no one seems to understand this important feature! The cheaper ID cars used a conventional hanging pedal operating a much smaller valve with fewer features but still the very powerful front discs which are common across the entire line from start to finish. From '55 thru '65, all DS/IDs had the early \"mousetrap\" calipers which are pretty complex and not easy to service, whereas the '66-75 cars had far simpler and much more easily serviced inboard calipers with separate calipers for the pbrake, operating on the same discs. The breaks/wagons used the mushroom pedal for their extra weight capacity, because the rears use the rear suspension pressure as an automatic load compensator WAY before ABS brakes.

The power steering however I believe is unique in this aspect: the front wheels are hydraulically locked against movement except from the driver's side. A Dutch auto club proved how safe this system is, along with the DS's CENTERPOINT PIVOTING FRONT WHEELS, by having a driver hit a 4 inch tall steel blade with the LF wheel at 60 mph on a proving ground - with his hands off the steering wheel. First off, they couldn't blow the Michelin X tire, so had to mount a non-steel cord tire to get it to pop. The car stopped perfectly straight with driver's hands off the wheel. \nThe power valve on the rack again is only movable from the driver's end, so the wheels cannot alter the direction if the car hits an obstacle. Further, the fact that the wheels pivot around their vertical center, meaning the patch on the road - means you can hit a cinderblock at road speed and the car will NOT ALTER ITS PATH unless the suspension arms BEND. Due to this center pivot design, the steering linkage joints last FAR LONGER than any other car because on driving straight ahead, there are no offcenter loads pulling or pushing constantly on the joints, so wear is truly minimal. In other words, most other designs put the wheel on a knuckle, which is an off-center design which produces twisting forces constantly on the front wheels, as a SPINDLE design is a lever arm always under stress when in motion. Not so the DS. These cars use basic physics laws better than most cars, for improved safety and reliability. I have several times blown an old Michelin at 80 mph in one of my early breaks while heading to the Can-Am races in Wisconsin,, heard only a bit of banging as the tire thrashed the wheel well, felt NOTHING thru the steering wheel - zero deflection - and stopped perfectly safely, changed the tire via the self-jacking suspension in 10 mins, and continued to the race. Try that in ANY other car. Am I rabid about these cars? Yup. There will never be another car as intelligently designed as the DS series - except maybe the CXs and SMs and 2CVs.

My late father was a dedicated trout fly fisherman and Citroenist. He'd fill his 1958 DS19 Citromatic bought from a Studebaker dealer in '62 - as a trade-in - with his best flyrods, creel and fly box and head up to the Madison River, out of Ennis Montana, and bring back beautiful rainbows and German browns with either wet or dry fly. He'd drive that DS anywhere, and always got back even tho we had no service whatsoever in Salt Lake, Utah - A chemist, he did it all himself, and we both marveled at the incredible engineering of that car. We cut our teeth on that DS, and it taught us a helluva lot about innovation and extreme comfort on any kind of drive. As a kid, i'd watch from the shore as Dad flicked a fly under overhanging willows on the far bank, and drop it just ahead of an eddy pool and Bang! he'd have a lunker on the hook. I knew Dad was good with a flyrod, but i didn't realize how good until I watched \"A River runs through it\" with Robert Redford. Dad had the technique, and knew all the best places to find the fish. I learned everything about the sport from him, along with self-sufficiency with the DS. He never had to call a mechanic - not only did they not exist, he'd help out the very few other owners in town. That car saved his life once when he was coming home from Ennis on an old 2 lane road in the middle of nowhere. Cresting a hill, he found himself facing two cars side by side - one passing the other. There wasn't even time to brake - he whipped that singlespoke wheel right & went onto the shoulder at 60, bracing for a rollover. When he realized he'd passed the danger and was still barreling along off the pavement, yet in complete control, he steered back onto the road - never having slowed down. That incredible suspension ate up the shoulder and kept the car under control with its amaazing shock control and long wheel travel. The quickness of the power steering and long wheelbase plus true mid-engine weight distribution made that unexpected offroad excursion a fast and reasonably safe maneuver vs most other cars. i just brought Dad's last car, a '72 DS21 Pallas, back to Michigan to pass on to my son who also grew up with DSs.

I filled the wagon to the ceiling with those beams, and someone estimated I had 1000 lbs. in the back. Drove it to wherever i was going with just a bit more body roll, but i minimized that simply by moving the height control lever one notch up, and stiffened up the suspension, which reduced the roll somewhat. Car rode just fine, and the larger rear drums with added cooling fins, handled the load easily. \nIn 1978, I had another wagon in Chicago, a '70 Citromatic, and used it to move my 3CV chassis, sans front suspension, body and engine, to Detroit to start 30 yrs working with all the auto co's. The 3CV chassis hung out on the tailgate and was a bit of a sight, but easily handled the job along with all the other stuff I had to move. \nAbout 5 yrs ago, I heard via the web that a young Frenchman was doing a world-circling trip in an ex-ambulance DS Break of about '72 vintage. As he was driving from Vancouver to the E. coast before heading to Tierra del Fuego and had a website, i invited him to drop down to Detroit & stop by before heading E. It must've been Nov, and he was coming down in a partial blizzard when i called him to ask his ETA. Hearing about the snowstorm, I asked how the car was running - he said fine. When he got to my place, I found his inside driver's doorhandle was inoperable, and he had to open/close it by winding the window! And - his heater fan didn't work, so he had almost no defrosting. Long story short, he stayed with me a week while he and i went thru the car using my stash of parts and the barn. He'd slept many nights in the car which had a sofa in the back, and two spare tires mounted on the tailgate! The 5 speed box in the car was acting up a bit, but he said he was heading for Montreal where a friend would help him sort the trans. I followed his progress on his website, which was Lunaya or like that, and he actually made it as far as Brazil, then back to France. I forget how many miles and adventures he had in that car, but had to be the experience of a lifetime. A few yrs later, back in France, he helped me ship a 1923 Citroen B14 engine block from Depanoto to Portola Valley Ca. - without his assistance, i couldn't have done it. Hope he's doing well today.

Their original place was identified by various engine parts spelling out their name vertically on their near 4+ story tower. They even sold Bleriot airplane parts back then! Coming out with spares, I met a fellow driving his Delage or Delahaye roadster - magnificent machine & we chatted a bit. They've since moved to grow a lot, & their main warehse must cover an acre or more with engines & younameit. Bought a '24 B14 engine block - best of 4 poor ones, brand new pistons & liners & solid bronze conrod bearings for a '24 Citroen Kegresse halftrack - the first type of vehicle to cross the Sahara - in '23. I'd accidentally blown up the engine of this vehicle, owned by the late Jacques Littlefield, a billionaire who owned the largest military vehicle collection in the world - 280 items, including 55 tanks! He wasn't happy. After servicing the engine, i'd backed it out of his Portola Valley mountaintop garage to clean leaked differential lube off the rubber track blocks. When I restarted it, the carb - solid bronze with rotary valve - stuck wide open due to bearing wear, and the engine went WOT - wide open throttle - and 1 second later, threw no. 3 rod, piston & bearings out thru an 8 inch hole in the alum. crankcase. Stunned, I sat in the driver's seat and near cried. Collecting 15 pcs of piston, rod, crankcase, I had to get the halftrack back in the garage with no help around. Ok, try driving it back in on the starter in 1st gear. Darn thing fired right up & ran as tho nothing had happened! Hole was above oil line - I could've driven it around the mountaintop - nothing in the crankcase to cause further damage. Jacques was in the UK buying a Churchill Flail - for clearing land mines. Next day pulled the monoblock to expose 3 remaining rods/pistons, & found two of three wouldn't even rotate on the lube-fed crank - the bearings were that tight. The bronze shells on the failed rod were burned black from HEAT. Took 7 lbs. push on nos. 2 & 4 to move rods on the unseized journals. Long story short, the gardener must've put the engine back together during restoration, with hardware store rod bolts instead of real ones - they were allen heads. The block had a pre-existing 3 in. circumferential crack 1 in. below the block top, from some idiot jack-screwing a stud into it and splitting it at the thread bottom. Yet, it ran fine with 3 zero clearance conrods, huge crack, & nonstandard Austin pistons with undersized wristpins. The carb valve sticking was the last straw & I drew it. On my own nickel I went to France to gather parts, only to have Jacques succumb to cancer 2 wks after I returned.

It does have the DS champignon (mushroom) brake pedal vs ID19 sedans, which have a hanging brake pedal and a simpler brake valve. The DS mushroom has a piston-moved teeter-totter that covers a front and rear valve for brake pressure. As the rear load increases, the teeter-totter piston moves the TT so it changes the lever ratio on each valve vs the pedal. And the rear brakes operate off the rear suspension pressure, which automatically increases as weight increases. The suspension automatically jacks up the rear end if ht sags below a certain height, bringing it back up to neutral position. Hence the rears become more powerful during braking with more weight. In fact, the long rear trailing arm suspension will drop the rear as brake torque is applied to the arms, rather than go nose-down. So these cars, regardless of load front or rear, will never nosedive under hard braking - just the opposite - they hunker down, versus the Earls fork on my '62 R60 BMW bike, which does the reverse - brake torque levers up the front fork during hard braking instead of nosediving - a very nice feature on a bike.", "likes": 3, "timestamp": 1512503167, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 1892474, "authorName": "kapohoboy", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/kapohoboy/", "bidAmount": 8500, "content": "$8,500 bid placed by kapohoboy", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1512511366, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 1892481, "authorName": "kapohoboy", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/kapohoboy/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "we're running out of time and I need to get to work............", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1512511427, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 1892555, "authorName": "carlstewart", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/carlstewart/", "bidAmount": 8701, "content": "$8,701 bid placed by carlstewart", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1512512173, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 1892618, "authorName": "kapohoboy", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/kapohoboy/", "bidAmount": 10000, "content": "$10,000 bid placed by kapohoboy", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1512512927, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 1892623, "authorName": "1000songs", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/1000songs/", "bidAmount": 11000, "content": "$11,000 bid placed by 1000songs", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1512512957, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 1892628, "authorName": "kapohoboy", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/kapohoboy/", "bidAmount": 13000, "content": "$13,000 bid placed by kapohoboy", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1512513016, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 1892634, "authorName": "1000songs", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/1000songs/", "bidAmount": 13777, "content": "$13,777 bid placed by 1000songs", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1512513080, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 1892635, "authorName": "francoid", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/francoid/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "searching for reserve....", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1512513101, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 1892638, "authorName": "Crazyas00", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/crazyas00/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "And we are off!", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1512513118, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 1892639, "authorName": "kapohoboy", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/kapohoboy/", "bidAmount": 15000, "content": "$15,000 bid placed by kapohoboy", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1512513136, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 1892642, "authorName": "1000songs", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/1000songs/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "Bam", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1512513146, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 1892649, "authorName": "silverbuillitt850", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/silverbuillitt850/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "Does that mean you're out?", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1512513222, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 1892650, "authorName": "1000songs", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/1000songs/", "bidAmount": 15500, "content": "$15,500 bid placed by 1000songs", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1512513224, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 1892651, "authorName": "francoid", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/francoid/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "Clearly not!", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1512513246, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 1892655, "authorName": "Crazyas00", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/crazyas00/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "It was a ploy!", "likes": 1, "timestamp": 1512513298, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 1892657, "authorName": "kapohoboy", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/kapohoboy/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "and I'm off to work.......!", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1512513326, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 1892660, "authorName": "Anonymous", "authorUrl": "", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "Reserve not met on 12/5/17 at $15,500", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1512513344, "type": "bat-bid-reserve"}, {"id": 1892666, "authorName": "francoid", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/francoid/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "Beautiful, close to perfect example.
