I first posted this in Ask FT, where it was suggested I try here...

This may be tough to answer, in keeping with the original intent of Ask FT: I imperfectly recall a late 1970s or early 1980s American made-for-TV movie set some decades into the future, which had people driving around in places like Washington DC in futuristic cars- except that they were really the Citroen DS, which had already been in production since the 1950s! I don't recall its plot- I was too distracted by the cars. Not "Sleeper." My question is, what was the name of that movie?


Since Citroens are quite rare in the US, the producers must have believed they could get away with such a cost-saving approach. Does anyone recognise this movie?

Have you checked on IMCDb? They have pages and pages of movies using the DS:

Citroen DS

Thanks, that is a great resource, which I hadn't found when I looked at IMCDb before. I tried IMDb as well. Sadly, my film didn't show up there. As one might expect, most of the DS films are French, and mine is American.
