A Musical Interlude: 1972 Citroën SM

I don't know just what I'm buyin'
But I'm gonna try for a French car, if I can
'Cause it makes me feel like I'm a man
When I drive in somethin' insane
And I tell you things aren't quite the same

When I'm rushing on my run
And I feel just like DeGaul's son
And I guess these shocks won't blow
And I guess these shocks won't blow

Level With Me: 1972 Citroen SM

The Citroën SM was originally built as a high end GT car with a sophisticated Citroën suspension system and a Maserati V6, but today due to the magic of dépréciation, they are cheap cheap cheap!  The French self leveling suspension was a regressive system so that if you were a tycoon who weighed 300 lbs or a poor internet blogger who weighs 110 lbs, you would both sit at the same level...très progressive!  Find this 1972 Citroen SM offered here on eBay bidding for $4,005 with 4 days to go, located in Woodmere, NY.
