Most CXs have a strip running along the side of the car to protect the bodywork. However, some early versions models don't, which came in very handy for my build, as it would have been practically impossible to incorporate without interfering with the covers over the rear wheels.
The CX was Citroën's replacement for the classic DS. Early cars had the same engine as the DS, but transversally mounted forward of the front wheels. The rear wheels were placed far aft, which meant that, even though it was marginally smaller than the DS, the CX was very roomy inside.

The Citroën CX was built from 1974 until 1991. It was voted European Car of the Year in 1975. The CX used Citroën's famous hydro-pneumatic suspension system. This one is registered in Denmark.
Another of those cars that’s on my mental list of things to find each year, like the Renault 20/30 and Peugeot 604, but I don’t always manage to see – CX probably the easiest of the three to see due to it continuing in production for longer. This one a bit battered but presumably still roadworthy.
I last saw a Citroen CX about three years ago, on my drive home from work.
When I was a kid, I saw one every day, as the president of the Citroen owners club lived at the end of my street, on my walk to school. He also had a variety of even more odd and rare cars, not that I necessarily appreciated it at the time.
One day when I had come back home from university, he was out the front, talking with some other Citroen people, so I stopped by for a chat. The end result was a drive around the block.
As unusual as the CX looks from the outside, the inside view and drive experience is even stranger. It has some kooky rotary dials for instruments, but it was the self-centreing pneumatic steering, the zero-travel pressure-sensitive brake pedal, and the non-clutch, manual 3-speed gear-change with torque converter which really dominated the experience.
Having grown up with quite conventional, manual-everything, live-axle cart spring cars, the CX was out of this world.
I even like the shape - it looks like it is aerodynamic, but still beautiful.
This CX is a redo of a car from several years ago, but benefiting from some subtle, but effective redesigns of systems like the luggage compartment, windows, and some of the tricky bodywork contours.
