1961 Citroën DS19 Cabriolet to be auctioned at Pebble Beach

Gooding Christie’s will be offering this 1961 Citroën DS19 Cabriolet at their Pebble Beach Auction on August 15, 2025.

According to communication on file from Guillaume Keller, a Citroën Heritage archivist, this car’s chassis number, 4200229, corresponds to a 1961 DS19 Cabriolet; however, its body number, 0013-000056, appears to be that of a different car built in the same year. Keller further states that the Citroën engine fitted is of later manufacture.

The car is finished in Blanc Carrare (Carrara White) and is accented by a dark green leather interior and green canvas top,

Gooding Christie’s is estimating that it will sell for between $140,000 – $180,000 US with no reserve.

The listing states that it has a 3-speed automatic transmission, but of course Citroënvie readers know that is a publishing error. This DS19 Cabriolet comes with a 4-speed semi-automatic gearbox. The auction listing states:

Chassis: 4200229

1,911 CC OHV Inline 4-Cylinder Engine
2-Barrel Weber Carburetor
75 BHP at 4,500 RPM
3-Speed Automatic Transmission
Front Inboard Disc, Rear Drum Brakes
4-Wheel Independent Hydropneumatic Self-Leveling Suspension

Update – Aug. 16, 2025: The 1961 DS19 Cabriolet sold for $95,000 USD.
