Citroën DS most popular on social networks?
08/15/2021
There is a lot of discussion about classic cars on Facebook, Instagram and the like, photos are admired and problems are discussed. But which classic car is the most popular?
The British insurance company "uswitch.com/car-insurance" investigated this question using Instagram and identified the most popular European classic cars.
First place went to the Citroën DS( pictured above) with 137,018 hashtags.
In second place was the Jaguar E-Type (Series 1)with 126,319 "points".
Third place went to the Fiat 124 Spiderwith 103,286 hashtags.
It was followed by two super classics, namely the Ferrari 250 GTO and the Lamborghini Miura. The Volvo P1800 established itself in 6th place. Further places went to the De Tomaso Pantera, Ferrari 308 GTS, Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato and Austin-Healey 3000.
Of course, the ranking depends very much on how narrowly you define a vehicle type. For example, the Lamborghini Countach LP 400 "Periscopio" only received 4797 "points", or around 3.5 percent of the Citroën DS.
In any case, this study seems to us to be somewhat arbitrary, although our own experience shows that the Citroën DS "pulls" quite well on Facebook, for example. But don't trust any statistics that you haven't falsified yourself ...
