Why the number on this car is wrong

Waarom het getal op deze auto niet klopt

Today marks exactly 50 years since the last Citroën DS rolled off the production line. According to a large plaque on the windshield, this last car, a DS 23 Pallas injection électronique, was the 1,330,755th example.

But after the ceremony, when all the photos had already been taken, someone discovered that the number was wrong! They had forgotten to count the 124,991 examples built outside France. In total, 1,455,746 DS and ID models were built.
