The Car Has Been Delivered to the Upholstery Shop

The car is missing only the correct steering wheel, hood, bumpers, side glass, seats, sound system and upholstery.

There is only one original item under in the engine bay. Can you identify it?

Question For Readers

Would you buy a brand new Citroen DS (according to the original design) for US$45,000 if it was updated with better crash safety, power, and reliability?

Volvo 457 'Flash Green' and 'White Pearl'

Update: I was worried when I first saw these pictures (they were sent to me by Kreations). The color looked bluer and bolder than I had anticipated. I was after a more subtle shade of turqouise. I was afraid I was going to have to respray it.

But I saw it in person today and it looks very nice. The color is not overpowering at all. And the true color appears much more green than the pictures. The pictures were made in a dim room with a harsh flash that makes the contrast appear more than it actually is.

Whew.

Painting has begun

The roof is to be white with a pearled finish. The body is to be a turquoise green. So far only white has appeared.
