About the Citroen DS Berline Blanc Meije Solido 1:18

TL;DR: Solido's 1:18 diecast Citroen DS Berline reproduces the 1963 saloon in Blanc Meije white, capturing the aerodynamic bodywork and distinctive nose that made the DS one of the most advanced-looking cars of its decade. Diecast construction carries the shape's long, low profile with genuine scale presence.

Few 1960s saloons look as unmistakable in miniature as the DS, and white does nothing to soften how strange and forward-looking that shape still seems today.

Diecast Weight on an Unmistakable Silhouette

The DS's body was designed around aerodynamic efficiency rather than convention, with a sharply tapered tail, a low, sloping bonnet, and a glasshouse that curves into narrow rear pillars, and Solido's diecast construction gives that unusual profile real substance in the hand. The Blanc Meije finish keeps the focus on the DS's surfacing rather than on a bold colour statement, letting the model's creased shoulder line and distinctive front indicator placement read clearly under direct light. Zinc alloy weight suits a saloon whose real-world hydropneumatic suspension gave it a famously smooth, self-levelling ride, a mechanical story a diecast body cannot demonstrate but whose visual result, that low, settled stance, the model captures convincingly.

A Design That Redefined the French Saloon

Designed by Flaminio Bertoni and launched in 1955, the DS introduced hydropneumatic self-levelling suspension, disc brakes, and an aerodynamic shape that looked more like a concept car than anything else on French roads at the time. By 1963, the year this model represents, the DS had already established itself as one of the defining French cars of the postwar era, its shape recognisable even to people with no particular interest in cars. On a shelf of European classics, the DS needs no companion piece to justify its place, since its silhouette alone tells most of the story a collector would want to convey.
