I have to tell a few things in french : belle trouvaille, je ne suis pas fan de cette série de carrosserie, mais le chassis était pas mal après quelques fiabilisations

And now the translation ?

My French is rusty but here goes: "Good find, I'm not a fan of this series of [models] ('carrosserie' must mean like sedans/buggies/or genre of model - literally it means 'body'), but the chassis is not bad after many [reinforcements / upgrades to reliability] (fiabilisations)."

I'm not before seen the word 'fiabilisiations'; so I looked it up; the root word is 'reliability' so apparently, there is a French word for making reliable changes/upgrades. You can 'reliabilize' something. Cool!

This is probably as a result of having to make such fiabilisations to Citroen's and Peugots in the 70s. J/K - I loved my parents Citroen DSM - elegant car - but it could not handle the salting of the roads in Chicago and rusted out eventually.
