Norev's 1:18 diecast Citroen DS 23 Pallas comes finished in Orient Blue, its doors opening onto the DS's distinctive cabin. Built at the top of the DS range, the Pallas trim adds refinement to one of the most technically advanced saloons of its era. Fits a French classic or 1970s luxury display.
About the Citroen DS 23 Pallas Orient Blue Norev 1:18
TL;DR: Norev's 1:18 diecast Citroen DS 23 Pallas in Orient Blue opens its doors onto the DS's distinctive, uncluttered cabin. As the flagship DS trim, the Pallas represents the model's final and most refined years before Citroen retired the shape.
Few silhouettes are as instantly French as the DS, and this Orient Blue Pallas captures the model near the very end of its remarkable near-two-decade production run.
Norev's Diecast Handling of the DS Shape
The DS's flowing, aerodynamic bodywork, with its narrow rear track and sweeping roofline, is a genuinely difficult shape to tool accurately, and Norev's casting holds the curves along the wings and boot without the flattening a lesser die would introduce. The doors open to reveal the Pallas cabin's more upscale trim, distinct from the standard DS interior, while the exterior paint shows real depth in the Orient Blue finish under direct light. Panel gaps around the doors sit within normal diecast tolerance for a shape this curved, and the distinctive single-spoke steering wheel and dashboard layout are picked out clearly through the open door aperture.
The DS 23 Pallas as the Range's Final Flagship
By the time the DS 23 arrived in the early 1970s, the model had been in production for close to two decades, and the Pallas trim represented its most fully developed, best-equipped form before Citroen ended the run in 1975. The DS's hydropneumatic suspension and self-levelling ride were genuinely ahead of their time, and its styling remains one of the most distinctive silhouettes any manufacturer has put into series production. A late-model Pallas like this one gives a French classic collection its most refined DS variant, sitting comfortably alongside other 1970s European luxury saloons.
