A 1967 Citroën DS 21 Décapotable, one of fewer than 90 believed produced for that model year and authenticated by a Citroën factory certificate. Built as a true cabriolet by coachbuilder Henri Chapron under Citroën's official programme, it features reinforced bodywork, extended doors, a 2.2-litre four-cylinder engine, and semi-automatic transmission. The car was once owned by Canadian-American actor Lorne Greene, famous for his roles in Bonanza and Battlestar Galactica, and subsequently restored in the Netherlands before passing through France.
