About the Citroen Ami 6 Green Norev 1:18

TL;DR: Norev's 1:18 diecast Citroen Ami 6 recreates the 1964 saloon in green, reproducing its famous reverse-slope rear window and rounded 1960s bodywork. Built as a solid metal saloon rather than a limited resin piece, it suits collectors building a French mid-century range at an accessible price.

The Ami 6 answered a very specific 1960s problem for Citroen: how to sell a bigger, comfier saloon to buyers who found the 2CV too basic and the DS too dear. That reverse-slope rear window remains one of the era's boldest styling calls.

Norev's Diecast Approach to an Unusual Saloon Shape

Norev's diecast handles the Ami 6's odd silhouette in solid metal, giving the saloon believable heft when lifted from the box rather than the light feel of a toy-grade casting. The reverse-slope glass, the car's single most talked-about feature, is tooled cleanly, with the angle and boot line reading correctly from the side profile that made the original both praised and mocked in period road tests. Paint coverage on the green bodywork sits even across the flatter panels typical of early-1960s Citroen design, and the diecast format allows opening doors, something lightweight resin alternatives cannot offer at this price point. Chrome trim round the headlamps and bumpers is picked out properly rather than left bare, a small detail that lifts the model above the most basic end of the diecast market.

Where the Ami 6 Sat in Citroen's 1960s Range

Launched in 1961, the Ami 6 plugged the gap between the utilitarian 2CV and the technically dazzling DS, wrapping a conventional four-door saloon body with proper boot space around largely 2CV mechanicals. It became one of France's best-selling cars through the decade, proof that the divisive roofline did not put off buyers after practical family transport. For a collector assembling a run of Citroen saloons, the Ami 6 explains the commercial thinking that helped fund the DS, a mid-range earner supporting the halo product's ambitions. Its glass line also makes for an interesting model from angles a conventional saloon rarely offers.

Displaying the Ami 6 Alongside Bigger Citroens

On a shelf, the Ami 6 works best angled so its rear three-quarter view is visible, since that reverse-slope glass is the whole point and gets lost head-on. At 1:18 it runs to a modest footprint beside bigger period Citroens such as the DS or later CX, so it fits comfortably into a themed run without dominating. Diecast at this tier will not match the sharper panel lines of a limited resin piece, but for a car this characterful, honest mass-market construction suits its original role as an affordable family choice rather than a luxury statement.
