Citroen DS - can you explain the various models pls?

[hepcat]

Hi, I'm busy illustrating a Citroen DS (pics of current progress are below), and I can't get

my head around the visual differences and production timelines of the Citroen DS. At the

moment I'm confused about DS, ID, 19, 20, 23 and Pallas!

I'm doing a version with two round headlights - is this the ID?

I'm also doing a version with the glassed-in 4 headlights - is this the pure DS?

Can anyone explain years of production to me?

Sorry to ask so many questions, thanks in advance!

Cheers,

Hepcat

The Wikipedia entry would be one place to start.

Here's one of the external links in the Wikipedia entry

The July 2001 edition of the mag featured the DS

I hope this helps.

If you want a definitive guide of the model differences, on a budget, you can't beat Gazoline's Votre Auto single model series

I'll second the Gazoline recommendation - they recently finished a months-long timeline series on the DS: very exhaustive. If you can manage the French you can go to the website and buy back numbers - if you aren't lucky on eBay.

Thanks for the links everyone. I think I've gotten my head around the different versions now.

My DS illustrations are almost complete. Here's where it is now, but you can check out my workshop to see the whole progress at
