Assim que foi lançado, em
1955, o
Citroën DS foi visto como a grande sensação do meio automotivo. Mais de 50 anos depois, a originalidade e beleza de suas linhas continuam marcantes − e foram decisivas para dar ao
DS o título de
carro mais bonito de todos os tempos, de acordo com uma votação promovida pela revista britânica
Classic & Sports Magazine. O design belíssimo do
DS vem de uma perfeita união entre o estilista e escultor
Flaminio Bertoni e o engenheiro
André Lefévre. Com esses dois talentos, surgiu um carro com design e aerodinâmica vivendo em completa sintonia. -

The oldest paper model I so far know in Sweden is a model of the 70 canon ship "Nordstjernan" wich was launched at Karlskrona in 1703. The ship was constructed by Charles Sheldon and the model was built by the constructor himself or by someone else at at the shipyard, eventually to show the form of the hull before the approval. The model is built to scale 1:60. It is now in the Maritime museum (Sjöhistoriska museet) in Stockholm. - Gunnar Sillén, by Bildrums Klippark
