Most probably a DS23, which were made from 1973 to 1975. There are probably fewer that forty left in the US.
If you find one in good condition it'll be in the $12-17.5K price range, while one in excellent condition is worth $17.5-25K.
With 1600 cars that day traffic some times came to a standstill and people had a chance to get out and visit with one
another.
A rare DS Cabriolet, one of only 1,325 made from 1960 to 1971 - and there might be fewer than 100 in North
America. In such pristine condition this one would be worth from $45 to 60K.
With no less than 1600 cars, for once it was a pleasure to see a traffic jam.
