About the Citroen DS19 Cabriolet Norev 1:18
TL;DR: Norev's 1:18 diecast Citroen DS19 Cabriolet reproduces the rare open-top variant of the 1961 DS in zinc alloy, with opening doors and hood. It captures a version of Citroen's futuristic design far less common than the standard sedan.
The DS sedan gets most of the attention for its groundbreaking hydropneumatic suspension and shape, but the Cabriolet variant, built in far smaller numbers, gives this Norev casting genuine rarity within the DS story.
Diecast Build on a Rare Open-Top Variant
Without the sedan's dramatic roofline, the DS19 Cabriolet's low, sweeping body has to carry the design's futuristic character on its own, and the zinc alloy body holds that curved, low profile with real confidence. Doors and hood open, letting a collector examine the cabin and engine bay of a car whose interior was as forward-thinking as its exterior in period. Panel gaps around those opening points sit at a fair mid-tier standard, and the model's low beltline and long rear deck read clearly under direct light without the visual interruption a poorly fitted door would cause.
A Rare Variant Worth Seeking Out
Displayed beside a standard DS sedan, this Cabriolet immediately shows what the roofline was doing structurally and visually for the standard car, since without it the DS's low, dramatic lines have to stand entirely on their own. The Cabriolet's genuine period rarity, far fewer were built than the sedan, gives it real standing for a collector chasing French automotive design history beyond the most obvious body style. The opening doors and hood add hands-on appeal that suits a car this visually and mechanically significant. For a vintage French classics collection, this DS19 Cabriolet is a genuinely notable, less commonly seen subject.
