Solido – Citroën DS Berline 1963 – Prestige Collection – French Automotive Icon A beautifully crafted model of the legendary Citroën DS, presented by Solido in their Prestige Collection. The original Citroën DS, often referred to as “La Déesse” (The Goddess), was one of the most revolutionary cars of the 20th century. Introduced in 1955, it stunned the world with its futuristic design, aerodynamic body, and groundbreaking technology such as hydropneumatic suspension, which offered an unmatched level of comfort and ride quality. The DS quickly became a symbol of innovation, elegance, and French engineering excellence. Its historical significance goes far beyond design. The Citroën DS became globally famous when it was used by Charles de Gaulle, whose life was saved during an assassination attempt in 1962. Thanks to the DS’s advanced suspension system, the driver was able to maintain control even with damaged tires, allowing a successful escape – a moment that cemented the DS as an automotive legend. This model captures the unmistakable silhouette of the DS perfectly, finished in an elegant white color with a contrasting dark roof, reflecting the timeless sophistication of the original. The model is in very good condition and comes including the original box, making it highly desirable for collectors of classic European automobiles. A true highlight for enthusiasts of French automotive history, design icons, and classic luxury vehicles in 1:18 scale.
