The Original Model in Automotive History
The 2 CV 6 Dolly was born in 1985 during the last years of production of the legendary Deudeuche. Citroën aimed to reignite interest in its flagship model by creating attractive and original special series. The Dolly perfectly fits this strategy with its bold two-tone body that contrasts with the usual sobriety of the 2 CV.
Technically, this version retains the air-cooled 602 cc two-cylinder engine developing 29 horsepower, typical of the 2 CV 6. It also benefits from all the refinements added to the model over the decades: front disc brakes, a four-speed gearbox, and rack and pinion steering. The Dolly stands out mainly for its bright colors and more generous standard equipment.
This special series met with notable commercial success, proving that the 2 CV still retains its allure with the public. It helped maintain the sales of the model before its definitive halt in 1990, after 42 years of exceptional career.
Citroën in the 1980s
In the mid-1980s, Citroën was undergoing a period of major transition. The chevron brand, now part of the PSA group since 1976, had to reconcile its legacy of innovation with modern economic imperatives. It is in this context that the Dolly was born, reflecting the brand's desire to preserve its icons while adapting them to contemporary tastes.
This era also marked the advent of new models like the BX, launched in 1982, embodying the technological modernity cherished by Citroën. At the same time, the brand skillfully nurtured nostalgia around its iconic models like the 2 CV, creating a bridge between tradition and innovation. This dual strategy allowed Citroën to reach different clientele while preserving its unique identity.
The history of Citroën, since its founding by André Citroën in 1919, has been marked by a constant quest for originality. The creation of colorful special series like the Dolly perfectly fits into this philosophy of boldness and creativity that has characterized the brand since its origins.
The Libertarian Spirit of the Dolly
The 2 CV Dolly takes its name from the famous American country band of the 1970s, but its inspiration is more rooted in the spirit of the 1980s. This special series perfectly embodies the sense of freedom and carefreeness characteristic of that decade, marked by the explosion of colors and the affirmation of individualism.
Offered in several two-tone combinations - grey and white, red and white, or blue and white - the Dolly allows each owner to express their personality. This innovative marketing approach for the time transforms the traditional 2 CV into a true statement of automotive fashion. Young drivers particularly embraced this model, which allowed them to stand out without giving up the legendary practical qualities of the Deudeuche.
The cultural impact of the Dolly goes far beyond the automotive realm. It quickly became a symbol of 1980s France, appearing in numerous films and television reports of the era. Its distinctive livery makes it an immediately recognizable vehicle, contributing to firmly anchoring the 2 CV in the French collective imagination as much more than just a car: a French art of living.
Even today, the Dolly evokes a particular nostalgia among collectors and lovers of automotive heritage. It represents the last embers of a mythical model that has traversed nearly half a century of societal changes, remaining true to its philosophy of accessibility and simplicity.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to understand the scales of miniatures?
Scale indicates the reduction ratio between the real car and the miniature. For example, at 1:43 scale, each centimeter on the miniature corresponds to 43 centimeters on the real vehicle.
Concretely, a 1/18 scale Ferrari model is approximately 25-30 cm long, while in 1/43 scale it measures approximately 10 cm.
What scales are available?
Our model cars are mainly offered in 1/43, 1/24, 1/18 and 1/87 (HO) scales. The scale is always indicated in the product sheet.
The smaller the second number, the larger the model car (e.g. 1/18 is larger than 1/43).
