It’s timeless, at least within decades. I think this car is a 1968-71 but I really can not tell. The interesting thing is that it really does not matter that much as the engineering for this car took about thirteen years to evolve.
I found this information about Citroen DS21s.
The Citroën DS21 Pallas
An Automotive Anomaly
Late in 1956, CU tested one of the first front-wheel-drive Citroën DS sedans to come over from France. We remarked at the time: “To say that a car is new and different is only to say that it is interesting, not necessarily that it is good. … The Citroën DSl9 is essentially a connoisseur’s item.” Thirteen years later, some 27,000 Citroëns having since crossed the Atlantic, we tested a 1969 DS21 Pallas sedan. (The 1970 Citroëns won’t come on the U.S. market until spring.) It’s not new (it differs only subtly from the 1956 car), but it’s still interesting – as much an automotive anomaly as ever. Its major advantage – very comfortable seats, a very good ride, good handling in normal driving and good fuel economy – come at a fairly high price, at least in the model tested. And to judge by our test car, problems of repair and upkeep may constitute a major headache for Citroën owners.
