1967-1971 CITROËN DS/ID Break on Postcard
The revolutionary DS/ID Berline was introduced in Oct. 1955.
The first estate version was presented in Oct. 1958 but available just one year later. The roof rack was not only functional but was also part of the stability of the body.
Designed by Flaminio Bertoni & ing. André Lefèbvre.
The new front with double headlights behind glass was introduced in Sept. 1967.
In Summer 1971 these door handles would be restyled.
Production DS/ID Series: 10/1955-4/1975.
Production Phase II: Sept. 1967-April 1975.
There's nothing written on the backside of this postcard. I belief this card was designed by Karel Suyling (1926-2014).
Between 1958 and 1971 he was responsible for the advertisement styling of Citroën Nederland and he had designed countless newspaper adverts, books, cards and the company style of Citroën Nederland.
He developed his own style in which the image played an important role.
From the same series I also have cards with a 2CV AK, 2cv AZU, Ami 6 Berline and Break, DS Berline and Dyane.
Original photographer, place and date unknown.
