This car was a big surpise with its advanced and futuristic design. Another distinctive feature:
the hydropneumatic suspension. Together with the long wheelbase and the roomy interior, the car was very comfortable.
Because all of that, the car was a huge success and was produced until 1975. The car was faceliftet in 1967. The headlights
were now under glass, and a pair of lights changes their direction like the steering does.
