Classic Parts Finder's review

The 'ashtray' wings inherited this nickname simply because of their striking resemblance to... an ashtray. art deco' type ashtray ;). It has to be said that their rather prominent shape is rather evocative. The purpose of adding such a grille was to facilitate cooling of the 'LHS' red hydraulic fluid system (the forerunner of the 'LHM'). Among the multitude of modifications to the front fenders that would take place throughout the DS's career, the 'ashtray' fenders themselves would have their share of small differences and subtleties. The model shown here was most likely produced between January 1960 and May 1961. Indeed, the insulating trim is clearly visible, as are the shape of the grille and the screw threads, typical of early versions. If you'd like to find out more, I invite you - once again - to consult Docteur Danche's brilliant DS color chart.

See in its original language (French) : Les ailes dite 'cendrier' ont hérité de ce surnom du simple fait de la ressemblance assez frappante avec un... cendrier, de type 'art déco' je dirais même plus ;). Il faut dire que leur forme est assez proéminente est plutôt évocatrice. L'ajout d'une telle grille avait à priori vocation de faciliter le refroidissement du dispositif de liquide rouge hydraulique 'LHS' (l'ancêtre du 'LHM'). Parmi la multitude de modification des ailes avant qui auront lieu durant toute la carrière de la DS, les ailes 'cendriers' auront elles-même droit à leur lot de petites différences et subtilités. Le modèle proposé ici a très probablement été produit entre janvier 1960 et mai 1961. En effet, on remarque bien la garniture isolante, ainsi que la forme de la grille et les pas de vis, propres aux premières versions. Si vous souhaitez en savoir plus, je vous invite -une fois de plus- à consulter le génial nuancier des DS du Docteur Danche.
