About the Panhard 24 CT Red Solido 1:18

TL;DR: Solido's 1:18 diecast Panhard 24 CT in red reproduces the aerodynamic coupe Panhard built during its final years as an independent French marque before Citroën's takeover ended standalone Panhard car production in 1967. Solido's long history with French subjects makes this a well-suited pairing of manufacturer and marque.

Panhard spent decades chasing aerodynamic efficiency out of small, air-cooled flat-twin engines, and the 24 CT coupe was the last and most polished expression of that obsession before the company stopped building cars altogether.

Solido's Diecast Treatment of the 24 CT's Aerodynamic Coupe Body

The 24 CT's low, swept roofline and minimal frontal area were not styling flourishes; they were the direct result of Panhard's decades-long pursuit of aerodynamic efficiency from modest flat-twin engines that needed every advantage they could get. Solido, a French diecast manufacturer with deep roots in reproducing home-market subjects, captures that coupe profile with a smooth, consistent shell rather than the slightly blocky proportions a less specialised manufacturer might apply to an unfamiliar shape. Red paint sits with an even, confident finish across the bonnet and wings, and the panel lines around the doors hold together cleanly. Weight in hand confirms solid diecast construction, giving the coupe real shelf presence despite its relatively compact footprint.

Panhard's Final Chapter as an Independent French Brand

Panhard built its reputation on getting more from less, wringing genuine performance out of small air-cooled engines through obsessive attention to aerodynamics and weight, a philosophy that made the brand a genuine engineering curiosity rather than a mainstream volume seller. By the early 1960s, Citroën held a controlling stake in Panhard, and that relationship deepened until Citroën ended standalone Panhard car production in 1967, folding the smaller brand's engineering talent into its own operations. The 24 CT therefore represents something close to a final statement, a genuinely accomplished coupe built by a company already living on borrowed time.

On a shelf built around lesser-known European marques, this Panhard rewards a collector willing to look past the obvious French classics. Paired with other Solido French subjects from the same period, it fills a gap most general collections leave entirely empty.
