The Citroën ID20F Familiale is currently undergoing from-ground-up restoration. A distinguished European model from the late 1960s is part of Citroën's iconic DS series, celebrated for its groundbreaking design and advanced engineering. The DS line, including the ID20F, stood out for its distinctive styling, innovative hydropneumatic suspension system, and an array of forward-thinking features that defined automotive excellence of its era.
The Familiale variant was specifically designed with families in mind, featuring a unique seating arrangement that included three additional flip-out seats behind the front row and a rear bench positioned further back, maximizing passenger capacity. However, this layout reduced the trunk space compared to the U.S. versions, reflecting its European focus on versatility and compact design.
A true icon of mid-20th century European automotive ingenuity, the Citroën ID20F Familiale exemplifies the blend of functional design, elegance, and technological innovation that defined the era.
