About the Peugeot 203 Cabriolet Black Solido 1:18

TL;DR: Solido's 1:18 diecast Peugeot 203 Cabriolet reproduces the open-top variant of France's postwar family saloon in black. Its folded roofline exposes cabin detail a closed 203 keeps hidden, a rarer body style for collectors building a French vintage classics shelf.

Peugeot built far fewer cabriolet 203s than saloons, and that scarcity gives this open-top version a different collecting angle than its closed sibling in the range.

Solido's Open-Top Diecast and the 203 Cabriolet's Cabin

Removing the roof changes what a diecast has to prove. With no closed cabin to hint at, the seats, dashboard, and folded-hood detailing sit fully exposed to inspection, and Solido's zinc-alloy build handles that honestly rather than glamorously: molded seats in a single tone, a simple dash layout, and door hinges that open with the functional resistance typical of mainstream diecast rather than the tight precision of a sealed resin body. Black paint suits the period well, giving the rounded wings and narrow chrome trim a formal look the lighter saloon colours do not carry. At 1:18 the open cabin also makes this a slightly better display piece than the closed 203, since there is genuinely more to look at from directly above.

A Rarer Body Style from Peugeot's Postwar Line

Cabriolet versions of mainstream 1950s European saloons were built in smaller runs than their closed counterparts, aimed at buyers who wanted a touch of leisure motoring without stepping up to a dedicated sports car. The 203 Cabriolet fits that pattern precisely: same mechanicals as the family saloon, different intent entirely. For a collector already holding the closed 203, this open variant adds genuine variety rather than duplication, a body style worth seeking out specifically because Peugeot made comparatively few of them.
