About the Citroen HY Service Jaune Cedrat Solido 1:18

TL;DR: Solido's 1:18 diecast Citroen HY reproduces the corrugated-body delivery van in citron yellow "Jaune Cedrat" livery. Diecast construction handles the van's distinctive ribbed body panels cleanly, a discovery piece for collectors building a French commercial-vehicle or everyday-life display beyond passenger cars.

Long before Citroen's saloons made design headlines, its corrugated HY van was already a fixture on French streets, doing unglamorous work with an unmistakable shape.

Diecast Tooling and the HY's Ribbed Bodywork

The Type H's corrugated steel panels, a construction choice born from cheap sheet steel and simple tooling in postwar France, translate into a texture diecast reproduces convincingly, since the ribbing is a repeating, geometric pattern rather than an organic curve. Citron yellow paint sits bright and even across those ridged panels, a color commonly associated with French commercial liveries of the era, and the flat cargo body and split rear doors give the model a boxy, purposeful stance distinct from anything else in a typical passenger-car collection. Diecast's weight suits the van's utilitarian character; this was never a vehicle built for delicate handling.

A Working Vehicle That Became a French Icon

Citroen built the Type H, commonly known as the HY, from 1947 into 1981, and its front-wheel-drive layout and low, flat loading floor made it a favorite among French bakers, butchers, and market traders for decades. That everyday utility is exactly why the HY earns its own place in a French vehicle display: it represents ordinary working life rather than automotive glamour, a useful counterpoint to a Citroen DS or a Delahaye grand tourer collected for entirely different reasons. Even today the HY's shape survives in French street food culture, converted into food trucks trading on the same recognizable silhouette.
