About the Citroen DS19 Cabriolet Bordeaux Norev 1:18

TL;DR: Norev's 1:18 diecast Citroen DS19 Cabriolet in Bordeaux reproduces the rare open-top DS variant from 1961, a coachbuilt convertible rather than a standard factory body style. Solid diecast construction shows off the DS's aerodynamic lines without a roofline breaking up the profile.

A roofless DS shows off Flaminio Bertoni's swooping bodywork in a way the closed saloon never quite manages, and the Cabriolet remains one of the rarer, more sought-after ways to own that design.

Norev's Diecast Reading of an Open-Top DS

Removing the roof from the DS's shape exposes the full sweep of its waistline and rear haunches, and Norev's diecast keeps that unbroken profile clean, with the folded soft top area moulded convincingly rather than left as a flat afterthought. Bordeaux paint carries genuine depth across the coupe-like flanks, a colour that suits the Cabriolet's more exclusive positioning within the DS range. Metal construction gives the model believable weight, and doors open to show the same distinctive single-spoke steering wheel found across DS variants, with the added openness of no roofline to obstruct the view into the cabin.

A Genuinely Scarce Body Style Within the DS Range

Unlike the standard DS saloon, the Cabriolet was never a simple production line variant, built instead in far smaller numbers through specialist coachbuilding work that adapted the DS platform to an open-top configuration, a considerably more complex undertaking given the car's unusual hydropneumatic underpinnings. That scarcity has made surviving original DS Cabriolets among the most valuable variants of the model on the collector car market today, a rarity this diecast lets far more people appreciate in miniature than could ever realistically own the real thing.

Displaying a Rare DS Variant Alongside the Saloon

This model works particularly well paired with a standard DS saloon, where the Cabriolet's rarity and open-top drama provide genuine contrast against the more familiar closed body most collectors already recognise.
