About the Citroen DS Special Black Dickie Solido 1:18

TL;DR: Solido's 1:18 diecast Citroen DS Special in black reproduces the late-production DS sedan built into the early 1970s. Solido, a French diecast maker, casts its own country's most distinctive postwar sedan with the low, sweeping profile that made the original a design landmark.

A Citroen DS in black looks almost formal, which suits a car whose signature feature is a suspension system rather than a stripe or a spoiler.

The DS Special and a Design Ahead of Its Time

The Citroen DS launched in 1955 with a hydropneumatic self-leveling suspension and an aerodynamic shape that made every contemporary sedan look outdated overnight, and the car stayed in production with only detail updates for two full decades. The "Special" designation marked one of the simplified trims sold late in that run, aimed at buyers who wanted the DS's ride and silhouette without the costlier options list of the flagship versions. By the early 1970s the shape had barely aged, which says as much about how far ahead of its time the original design was as anything Citroen did to update it.

A French Manufacturer Building a French Icon

Solido has built diecast in France for decades, and a Citroen DS is about as close to a home-turf subject as the brand gets. This 1:18 model carries a solid diecast body with opening doors and hood, and the low, arched roofline and covered rear wheels that define the DS silhouette come through clearly at this scale even in a single-tone black finish. The interior is simplified rather than fully detailed, standard for the segment, and the ride height is fixed rather than adjustable, so the model cannot recreate the real car's leveling party trick. For a US shelf built around European design landmarks, the DS supplies a shape nothing else in an American collection quite matches.
