Chapron La Croisette

Henri Chapron built his first DS19-based Decapotable (convertible) which he named 'La Croisette Cabriolet' in 1958. The early cars used saloon front doors and rear wings and had an ugly seam. In 1960 Chapron started using longer doors mated to a longer seamless rear wing. Chapron had also been building the factory DS Decapotables from 1958. Just 52 'La Croisettes' were built until 1962, with Chapron now also building the 'Usine' decapotables. But from 1960 to 1968 Chapron built 34 'Le Caddy' decapotables.
