It was among the most sought- after luxury cars, the Desirèe Speciale. In addition to the smooth luster of the bodywork, the brightness of the all- glass interior, it has the dashboard very eqiupped for the time (1954-55) and the "empty" steering wheel, with a single race.
DS=DEESSE= DEA, this car had the honor of an assay by the great French semiologist and intellectual Roland Barthes.
" Lao Dèesse has all the characteristics of one of those objects descended from another universe...."
"Marks a change in automotive mythology...."
La Dèesse is visibly an exaltation of glass,and metal is only its basis. Cultured and poetic language to describe".... a great epochal creation, passionately con ceived by unknown artists..."
(La nouvelle Citroen, from Mithologies, 1954-55, Edit. du Seuil.)
