At first Henri Chapron purchased Citroen
DS cars and customised them as one-off conversions. Many of these
became unique convertible variants of the DS known as the
Décapotable. All told, Chapron created 389 hand-built DS
convertibles.
In 1961, the Citroën dealership network began distributing a
standard 'usine' (factory) two door convertible. In the years 1961
to 1971, 1,365 of these vehicles were made - they are highly
collectible today..
