Citroen DS19 (40th Anniversary 1955-1995)




Citroen DS19 (40th Anniversary 1955-1995), Vitesse no.L114, was made in Portugal by Vitesse Cinerius Ltd. in the year 1995. It is a limited edition model numbered 03039 out of 12,000 and measures 11 cm in length at a scale of 1:43.

This Citroen DS19 metal car model was created to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the original DS19 model in 1995. The design of the metal car body was inspired by an advertisement from 1955 showcasing the new Citroen DS19 suspension system. The advertisement featured the car being removed from its wheels and placed on four large balls, then installed in a pool. Remarkably, this car is still on display in Leek, Netherlands.

The car model itself is made of light brown steel with a gray roof and features chrome front and rear bumpers, clear glass, a blue interior, and a white steering wheel. It is placed on a red ball, replicating the scene of the car in the pool. The model comes packaged in a display box with a clear cover.
