Modified D series Citroens


D series Citroens came equipped with a hydraulic suspension that would make it easy to drop them this low. However, to the best of my knowledge they never produced a two door coupe.  A convertible was available so perhaps it was not difficult to simply attach the roof from a sedan to the convertible body.  The rear fender panels are secured by a single bolt.

The D series cars were produced from 1955 through 1975.  It was a very futuristic design for the time. Wikipedia can provide some additional information


I ran across this modified example of a D series as well.  Again a two door so it started its life as a convertible.  They extended the roof and apparently molded the trunk lid to the body/fenders.  The fenders are no longer able to be removed by simply taking loose the bolt visible to the inside of the turn signal lamp. That would make it difficult to remove the rear tires.  On the original D series cars the rear tires were accessed by removing the rear fender panels.
