About the Citroen DS19 Cabriolet Norev 1:18

TL;DR: Norev's 1:18 diecast Citroen DS19 Cabriolet reproduces the 1961 convertible with opening doors and bonnet, showing off cabin and engine detail. A rare open-top version of one of the most technically ambitious saloons of its era.

The DS was already radical as a saloon, with its hydropneumatic suspension and futuristic styling, and the far rarer Cabriolet version pushes that ambition into open-top territory.

Norev's Diecast Craft on the DS19 Cabriolet

Cast in zinc alloy, this DS19 carries genuine weight, a density that suits the DS's long, curved bodywork better than a lightweight shell would. Norev's paint finish holds an even gloss across the DS's swept flanks, and the cast-in detail around the distinctive covered rear wheel arches and low-set headlamp cluster stays crisp despite the wider tolerances diecast tooling allows compared with resin. Opening doors and bonnet reveal a cabin fitted with the DS's unusually plush period upholstery and an engine bay where the DS19's straightforward four-cylinder sits beneath the famously self-levelling front suspension. Diecast shut lines run a touch wider than a sealed resin body's would, but that trade toward mechanical access suits a car whose engineering was always the real story.

A Rare Body Style for a Citroen Collection

At 1:18 the DS19's long, low silhouette takes genuine shelf length, and the Cabriolet's folded or raised roofline is worth the extra space if the aim is a French classic theme running alongside standard DS saloons. The Cabriolet body was always produced in far smaller numbers than the saloon, so a well-detailed diecast is often the most practical way most collectors will ever get close to one. Displayed with opening panels shown, this DS19 turns rarity into something genuinely interactive rather than a shape admired only from behind glass.
