The special elongated presidential DS built by Chapron for Président de Gaulle
Chapron was commissioned to build a presidential limousine.
At 6,3 m in length, it was longer than the presidential limousines used by Lyndon B Johnson and Richard Nixon.
Regular DSs were also used for official duties - here with Jackie Kennedy right
De Gaulle disliked the screen separating him from the chauffeur and continued to use the Franay and Chapron 15 Six-based cars or a DS with folding roof in which he could stand up and acknowledge the adulation of the crowds.
