The DS Coupés

GÉTÉ and Pichon-Parat

In 1960, Hector Bossaert in association with the coachwork firm Gété produced the GT 19.

Italian stylist Pietro Frua was responsible for this shortened coupé whose tail fins recall those of the Peugeot 404.

Approximately a dozen were built until 1965 of which two are known to have survived.

Pichon-Parat 

Pichon-Parat Coupés were built by two associated coachbuilders and were based on an ID 19 with lowered and raked windscreen, headlamps from the Panhard 24.

A number of versions were built, from 1965 on, using ID and DS 19 and 21 mechanical bits and a number were rallied by the Citroën Competition Department.

The front wings, complete with twin headlights some two years before the DS restyle were available as an accessory kit.
