The DS19 was designed by the Italian sculptor and architect, Flaminio Bertoni. At Citroën, André Lefèbvre played a major role in the technical development of the car. The DS is famous because of its hydro pneumatic suspension and its futurist line. It took Citroën till 1955 to launch the VGD (Vehicule de Grande Diffusion), the name of the project. It couldn't be ignored, the lines of the DS were brilliant. It was a sensation at the 1955 Parisian Motor Show and it was also the start for toy manufactures to produce miniatures. The owner of the company of Monart, 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.
