About the Citroen DS Berline Blanc Meije Solido 1:18
TL;DR: Solido's 1:18 diecast Citroen DS Berline reproduces the revolutionary hydropneumatic sedan in Blanc Meije white. Diecast construction suits the DS's smooth, aerodynamic bodywork, and Solido's French pedigree pairs naturally with one of the country's most technically radical postwar designs.
Few sedans changed what a car could look like as thoroughly as the DS did when Citroen unveiled it in 1955.
Solido's French Heritage on a French Icon
Solido has built diecast models since 1932, and a Citroen DS is about as close to home territory as a French manufacturer gets: the DS's smooth, uninterrupted surfacing, minimal shutlines, and gently sloping roofline reward the same tight, consistent panel work diecast tooling delivers well on simple curves. White paint shows off that surfacing cleanly, with none of the chrome-heavy distraction a more ornamented sedan would carry. The model's weight in hand suits a car whose real engineering party trick, hydropneumatic self-leveling suspension, was itself about mass and control, even if that mechanical detail stays hidden under a sealed diecast floor.
A Design That Changed What French Engineering Meant
The DS arrived in 1955 with styling and technology so far ahead of its contemporaries that it reportedly took thousands of orders within hours of its motor show debut, powered by hydropneumatic suspension that let the car float over rough roads and, notoriously, kept running on three wheels when President Charles de Gaulle's DS was struck by gunfire in a 1962 assassination attempt. That single event turned the DS into something more than a well-engineered sedan, a car whose reputation for resilience became part of French cultural memory. For a display built around European design landmarks, the DS earns its place through documented history rather than reputation alone.
