Your an idiot.

Just the design alone was simply unheard of back then. When it in addition had features such as the hydraulic suspension system, the mono-spoke steering wheel, a rubber ball for brake pedal and more, it was truely something different.

I know the SM had that feature, not sure about the Goddess.

It's like rubbernecking a horrible, high-speed accident made entirely of words.

Yes, the turning lights apperead with the 1967 facelift, when the DS got dual round lights in a single housing.

Nobody snuggles with Max Power. You strap yourself in and feel the "G"s!

If that thing pops delicious home-made popcorn while you drive...I'm in.

Fixed it for ya

A friend of mine had a Renault R5 Alpine Turbo. Man that thing was fast and it was scary, having the engine right there behind you, where the rear seats should have been.

No wonder they made such interesting cars. The 11 in itself is a masterpiece in my mind.

How'd you spell "lowrider"?

That looks like an SM from the front but I thought the SM was only a 2 door.

SM Opera - By Chapron

Good observation! The SM is indeed only a 2-door coupe, but the one we're looking at here is a conversion made for the French president. This model is known as the Citroën SM Opèra. This conversion was made by the french coach builder Chapron, who also made a 2-door convertible (SM Mylord) and a 4-door convertible (SM Presidentielle)

Wasn't this one also able to drive on 3 wheels if necessary just so long as the missing wheel was in the rear?

The van variant survived well into the 90s, though the dash calmed down alot:

Sadly Citroen's most successful period volume wise has to be the late nineties when the cars were very dull but worked and had fantastic cash back deals....thankfully they have figured out a way to be slightly quirky and build cars that sell with the new C5.

Another one that comes to mind is the Talbot Matra Ranchero. Weird weird weird. It had a 1.4 and 80BHP, was designed to offer Range Rover style looks for half the price. 60,000 built between 1977 and when it died around 1984. I haven't seen one on the road in at least 15 years.
