The Real Model: A Revolution in the Citroën Range
Launched in 1961, the Citroën Ami was born from the desire of the brand with the chevrons to offer a modern alternative to the 2CV while remaining accessible to the greatest number. The Super version, marketed from 1973, represents the culmination of this philosophy with enhanced equipment and improved comfort.
This sedan stood out with its characteristic angular lines of the 70s, its four-door body, and its remarkable habitability for its category. The Super model featured a careful finish, a modernized dashboard, and more comprehensive standard equipment than the base versions.
With over 1.8 million units produced over its career, the Ami established itself as one of Citroën's major commercial successes, democratizing access to a modern and reliable automobile for thousands of French families.
Citroën in the 70s: Innovation and Boldness
At the time of the Ami Super's launch in 1973, Citroën was undergoing a period of intense innovation. The brand had just revolutionized the automobile with the DS and was preparing to launch the CX while maintaining a popular range with the 2CV and the Ami.
This era marked the golden age of Citroën in terms of technical innovation and design. The company, under the direction of André Citroën and then his successors, did not hesitate to shake up established codes with avant-garde technical solutions such as hydropneumatic suspensions, directional headlights, and aerodynamic bodies. The Ami Super fit perfectly into this philosophy by offering innovations at an accessible price.
The brand with the chevrons cultivated its reputation as a visionary manufacturer, capable of offering technically advanced vehicles while maintaining a pragmatic approach to automotive transport, as perfectly exemplified by this 1973 Ami Super.

The 1973 Citroën Ami Super is inextricably linked to the context of the "Trente Glorieuses," a period of economic prosperity that transformed post-war France. In 1973, the automobile was no longer a luxury but became accessible to the expanding middle class.
This beige sedan is a testimony of an era when the color beige was synonymous with elegance and modernity. Natural shades like beige, brown, or olive green dominated French roads, reflecting the aesthetics of the 70s and the taste for

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).
