About the Peugeot 402 Eclipse Chocolate Norev 1:18

TL;DR: Norev's 1:18 diecast Peugeot 402 Eclipse in Chocolate reproduces the 1937 pioneer of the retractable hardtop, with opening doors, hood and trunk. New and boxed, this pre-war French classic showcases mainstream diecast build quality at accessible pricing.

The 402 Eclipse holds a genuine engineering distinction: it was among the first production cars anywhere with a fully retractable steel roof, decades before the idea became a modern convertible feature.

Opening Panels and Pre-War Detail

The doors, hood and trunk all operate on this casting, letting a buyer show off the period cabin, with its narrow bench seat and simple dashboard, and the long straight-six engine bay beneath the hood. Zinc alloy gives the body real substance, appropriate for a car whose original proportions were long and heavy-set even by 1930s standards. The Chocolate finish has a deep, rich gloss that suits the era's formal styling better than a brighter color would, and the running boards, headlamp housings and grille detail are all picked out with the kind of separately applied trim Norev handles well across its classic-car range. The panel hinges operate with defined resistance rather than flopping loose, appropriate for a model meant to be posed with doors and hood open for display.

A Retractable-Roof Pioneer and Its Place on a Shelf

Georges Paulin designed the Eclipse's retractable roof mechanism, and Peugeot's willingness to put it into production made the 402 Eclipse a genuine engineering milestone rather than a styling exercise, predating the modern retractable hardtop by over sixty years. That history gives this pre-war French subject real substance beyond its elegant lines. At 1:18, its long hood and flowing fenders command attention among smaller postwar or modern subjects, and it anchors a vintage-classics display particularly well alongside other pre-war French or European luxury cars. Norev's mainstream diecast pricing makes an engineering-significant subject like this accessible without requiring investment-tier spending, and arriving new and boxed, it is ready for display right away.
