Francezii de la DS Automobiles celebrează 70 de ani de excelență în industria auto, marcând o călătorie începută în 1955 cu revoluționarul model DS 19.

55 years ago the divine design of the Déesse got amongst other things a more aerodynamically efficient nose. An optional set of driving lights was available. But the directional inner headlights did not appear until 1967: second generation Citroën DS (1962–1967).

I suspect that…

…it helps to be a certain age and background to fall in love with Duncan Hannah’s work. I regarded his best work as an unsettling appreciation of days that were just recently bygone, days of Hardy Boys mysteries, lesser British actresses to crush on; a world where encountering a blue Citroen DS 19 ( the sedan that saved de Gaulle) was the product of a neighborhood stroll, not of an obsessive internet search. Nostalgic, yes, but a bit ill at ease with the memories, like so many of us these days.

Comparisons to Hopper seem too easy, although I get it. Hannah called his work “a love letter to art history.”

Goodbye Duncan. We won’t see your kind again.

Citroën DS

The Citroën DS is a front mid-engined, front-wheel drive executive car manufactured and marketed by Citroën from 1955 to 1975, in fastback/sedan, wagon/estate, and convertible body configurations, across three series of one generation.

Assembly: France: Paris (Vaugirard)

Citroën DS 21: French prestige

PAUL CLÉMENT-COLLIN - 4 août 2022

The Citroën DS is a myth, that's obvious (see also: Citroën DS) but despite its innovations and revolutionary looks, it retained an engine directly derived from the famous Traction at its launch. The DS 19 certainly allowed the General to get out of a bad situation at Petit-Clamart, but it lacked a bit of mechanical nobility, and above all power in order to compete with other European saloons. With the DS 21, Citroën responded to the criticism and finally offered an engine (although still derived from the same block) that would make it possible to exploit the car's true qualities, and in particular its famous handling.

Two DS and Traction Avant at Paris

On Citroën DS: Général Charles de Gaulle visits Isles-sur-Suippe (Marne) in 1963-

Citroen DS 21 Cabriolet at Chalon sur Saone (City in France)

Marketed with a less expensive variant, the Citroën ID, the DS was known for its aerodynamic, futuristic body design; unorthodox, quirky, and innovative technology, and it set new standards in ride quality, handling, and braking, thanks to both being the first mass production car equipped with hydropneumatic suspension, as well as disc brakes. The 1967 series 3 also introduced directional headlights to a mass-produced car

The name DS and ID are puns in the French language. "DS" is pronounced exactly like déesse, lit. 'goddess', whereas "ID" is pronounced as idée ('idea').

Effect on Citroën brand development

The 1955 DS cemented the Citroën brand name as an automotive innovator, building on the success of the Traction Avant, which had been the world's first mass-produced unitary body front-wheel-drive car in 1934. In fact, the DS caused such a huge sensation that Citroën was apprehensive that future models would not be of the same bold standard. No clean sheet new models were introduced from 1955 to 1970.

Exactly 65 years ago, the debut of one of the most remarkable models in history - the French Citroen DS 19 car

[toongrrl-blog]

I just realized that most of the parents in Klasky-Csupo cartoons were Baby Boomers. Grandpa Lou most certainly was a member of the Greatest Generation (as he fought in World War II which is associated with that generation)

Rugrats/All Grown Up!

Stu drives a 1971 Citroen DS (and most of the parents drive 1970s and 1980s models of cars, updating to the early 1990s later on)

Didi attended a Bicentennial themed Junior Prom in High School “Junior Prom”

Stu was 19 during the Disco era and has a disco suit that shows up in “Stu Gets a Job”, “Garage Sale”, and “All Growed Up”

Stu was 35 years old in 1992-1993 according to Grandpa Lou “The Legend of Satchmo”

It’s implied that Stu and Didi might have dealt with fertility issues and Tommy was born premature (given how it was a surprise when Didi found herself pregnant with Dil), so it’s fitting Stu and Didi were in their thirties. 

Betty is clearly a 2nd Wave Feminist (the 1960s and 1970s) while 1990s young feminists looked like this or this.

Betty’s favorite movie is Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

Charlotte (and Drew to a lesser extent) is clearly a Yuppie in the Helen Morgendorffer mold

Drew probably bought The Preppy Handbook

Charlotte has black and white pictures of her as a baby and toddler (mostly 1950s and 1960s)

Drew and Stu were babies in 1959. “Sour Pickles”

Chas’s Bachelor look was utterly psychedelic with a lava lamp and shag carpeting “Chuckie’s Bachelor Pad”

Chas also has black and white photos.

Lou has black and white film footage of Stu as a Cub Scout.

Flashbacks and photos have shown Melinda Finster to look like a updated (for the early 90s and late 80s) Karen Wheeler

Lucy and Randy Carmichael clearly had their prom in the 1970s (afros, wide lapels, long hair and sideburns, floral spaghetti strap gowns, some leftover hairdos from the 1960s, a disco ball, platform shoes, and Lucy wore a documented-by-me prom look at the time) “Junior Prom”

Betty’s Wedding gown was utterly 80s “Runaround Susie”

The whole series was a huge discussion and display of the differences in parenting styles from those of the Greatest Generation and their own parents. 

Betty and Didi liked a group similar to The Mamas and the Papas/The Beatles/Rolling Stones/The Doors “Famous Babies”

Lucy Carmichael turned away from a Blues singing career because “there were a lot of blues singers and not a lot women getting scholarships to college” which likely referred to gender discrimination in education and scholarships (pre-Title IX)with a side of racial discrimination “Runaround Susie”

Similar to Drew, Lucy’s style is very Preppy with a polo shirt look with the Lacoste alligator.

Lucy sang in Church with a lot of late 1950s and 1960s looks (including the hats, now the flashback of Lucy being accepted into Harvard Medical School adds a bit of ripple as her look is pretty 1980s and was before she likely married Randy) “Kwanzaa”

In general the fight for women to apply to and be accepted by Ivy League medicals schools had a fraught history. 

Didi and Howard have the stack perms well known in the 1970s and 1980s. Carried more into the 1990s by the cast of The Nanny and the SNL “Coffee Talk” sketches 

Rocket Power

Ray drives a 1962 Mercury Woodie Wagon and is clearly nostalgic about his youth in the 1960s and 1970s.

Reggie and Ottos’ late mother Danielle was seen with a 1960s style bouffant in the flashbacks.

Tito and Ray were in a movie as sharks for a surf film starring a star who really didn’t surf or swim, which was an expy of beach movies starring Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello from 1963-1965. “The Wrath of Don Lightning”

Plenty of flashbacks also showed them with long 1970s hair and the ski suits of that decade. 

The Wild Thornberries

Likely in the episode “Hello Dolphin”, Marianne told Nigel that when she was a teenager she was traumatized by a shark movie where a girl that looks like her got attacked, likely Jaws and Chrissy, which came out in 1975. This could likely mark Marianne as being born in the 1950s or early 1960s.

Nigel has been doing nature documentaries in the 1970s as a teenager judging by the film and hair. “Forget Me Not”, same with Marianne he could have been born in the 1950s or 1960s.

As Told By Ginger

Lois Foutley did dress as a Madonna wannabe as a young women, but rather than marking her as a 1980s teen, she’d might as well be around Madonna’s age (b. 1958) “Losing Nana Bishop”

Lois’s appearance in her graduation photo on the mantel and when Ginger was young could be a reference to how her voice actress, Laraine Newman, appeared in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

Lois spent one summer in Greenwich Village after her sophomore year of nursing school where the beatniks were gone and there were Korean delis and accountants, which could refer to the late 1970s and the 1980s and climbed up the stairs of the Statue of Liberty in loose side platforms “The Nurse’s Strike”

Lois has a similar hairdo of a stacked perm to Didi and Howard. 

Jonas Foutley drives a truck that could have been sold in the 1970s and 1980s. 

Dr. Dave drives sports cars with luxury labels from the 1980s. 

Diane Francis’s look in her old photo closely resembles styles from the 1970s or early 80s (as she went to college with Dr. Dave). “The Wedding Frame”

Lois’s Foutley’s ski jacket for Ginger resembles a multitude of jackets from the 1960s, 1970s, and early 1980s. “Stealing First” 

Macie’s parents clearly have a look of 1980s professionals and 1990s working women (Dr. Bobby though has the look of Ted Chaough from Mad Men).
