About the Citroen DS Presidentielle Grey Solido 1:18

TL;DR: Solido's 1:18 diecast Citroen DS Presidentielle in Grey reproduces the ceremonial parade version of the DS built for French state occasions. Zinc alloy construction carries the sedan's aerodynamic lines with genuine metal weight, in a formal grey finish distinct from the DS's more common civilian colorways.

Not every DS in history carried ordinary passengers, and Solido's Presidentielle marks out one of the few that carried heads of state instead.

Formal Diecast Detailing on a Ceremonial Sedan

A parade car's bodywork was often extended or modified from the standard saloon to create a more commanding presence for ceremonial use, and Solido's casting reflects that longer, more formal stance rather than the standard DS proportions. Zinc alloy diecast gives the piece real substance in hand, appropriate for a subject built around dignity rather than speed, and the Grey finish sits flat and understated, a deliberate contrast to the brighter colors typical of ordinary DS road cars. Doors open on functional hinges to a simplified cabin, standard practice at this construction tier, while the exterior stays the focus, with clean, unbroken panel lines running the length of the extended body.

A DS Built for the French State, Not the Street

Citroen supplied modified DS models for French presidential use during the 1960s, a period when the DS itself was considered a symbol of French engineering ambition and postwar national pride. Charles de Gaulle famously survived an assassination attempt while riding in a DS, an event that only deepened the car's association with French state history. This Presidentielle version gives a Citroen or French-heritage collection a genuinely different kind of DS from the usual saloon or cabriolet variants, one whose story runs through politics rather than showrooms.
