The DS19 was designed by the Italian sculptor, architect and car designer Flaminio Bertoni. At Citroën, André Lefèbvre played an important role in the technical development of the car. The DS is famous for its hydropneumatic suspension and futuristic line. It took Citroën until 1955 to market the VGD ( Vehicule de Grande Diffusion ), the name of the project. It could not be ignored, the lines of the DS were brilliant. It was a sensation at the 1955 Paris Motor Show and was also the start for toy manufacturers to produce miniatures. The owner of the Monart company, maker of wooden toys under the name Joujoulac near Paris, was impressed by the DS at the motor show and he introduced a huge 1:10 scale wooden detailed DS toy for smaller children in November 1955. This was probably the first commercial DS model car.
