D'you know, I've always rather wanted a DS. When I was a tiny, tiny child, the people in the apartment across the hall had one. I had no idea what it was or why it was special, of course - I was, I think, four when we moved out of that apartment - but I distinctly recall being strangely fascinated by it. Many years later, when I knew what a DS was, I saw it in an old photo my parents took of their own car (which was parked next to it), and had one of those holy-crap-that-was-real? moments. (This is also why Coraline Jones has one in UF - it appears briefly in Welcome to the BPRD.)

Anyway, the great thing about the image above is that the DS was startlingly futuristic in 1955. In 1946, in a world where nobody had been making new cars in Gallia since 1939, it would be downright mind-blowing...

... although I've just seen one source claiming that the actual Citroën development project that eventually resulted in the DS began in 1937. Hmm...

Who knows what desperate Gallians may have stashed in the catacombs during the frenzy of the Fall of Paris?
