An actual DS was flown in from France in 2004, in order to be part of an exposition
about Charles De Gaulle, held in Shanghai, Beijing, Wuhan and Chengdu.
The car is the very one that endured criminals' bullets during the famous
"Petit-Clamart" incident in 1962, in the Paris suburbs; the French President's driver
managed to drive away in spite of two flat tires.
The pictures were taken at the arrival at Beijing airport on Sept 22nd, 2004.
