In "A Fish Called Wanda" when Jamie Lee Curtis kissed Michael Palin, when she left the house, there was a Dersh outside!

There are a couple of DS's and a 2CV in the 1973 bloodbath 'Tony Arzenta'.

A song from the past, the group is called Double pronounced Doublay.

So that was the classic original, but check out the updated version. As it is certainly worth it!

Kurt Maloo who was the lead singer in Double, has updated it well.
The new video for it has been shot in black, and white in an artistic style, but the best part is, it features a DS!

The comments below the video, also praise the DS.

Oh no!! The DS has that HORRIBLE handle, decoration....thing. Saw one at the DSM rally like it, really spoils the look of the car in my opinion

I couldn't agree more those VW Beetle bonnet handles spoil the look of a DS enough to stop me buying a car fitted with one, yet others still fit them even now. A friend recently offered me a brand new one for my car, I'm afraid I was so shocked that I used that internationally recognised phrase to tell him what I think of the handles. IIRC they were made by a company called Rhobigel or similar who also made those horrid fake spoke wheel trims fitted to DS Decaps.

I don't know if it's been mentioned already in this thread but I watched Hannibal Rising the other night. It's set during the 2nd World War where he flees to France and is taken in by his Aunt. There were a few Chevron-emblazoned classic cars in it.

Here's a rare one: a C5 ambulance in La boite noire:

Seen on a repeat of "Balls Of Steel" while channel surfing this guy called Randy Cambell did a stunt, and had an Xantia in the background decorated in the New Zealand flag colours.

Also, Aha in 1992 made an Album Called Memorial Beach and had a single from the album, called Angel. They made a music video and featured a Blue DS, which is driven off by a lady crashes into a lamp post or something throwing his "Lady" out over the bonnet, it has smashed windscreen on it..
