The ID 19 estate: the family avant-garde
Launched in 1958, the Citroën ID 19 estate represented a revolution in the world of family cars. Derived from the revolutionary DS, the ID offered a more accessible approach to Citroën technology while retaining major innovations: hydropneumatic suspension, power steering, and assisted braking. The estate, marketed from 1958, offered an exceptional loading volume for the time.
This family version stood out for its remarkable modularity with foldable rear seats and an impressive loading capacity of 1,600 liters. Its glass hatch, an innovation for the time, greatly facilitated loading. The 1.9-liter 4-cylinder engine developed 75 horsepower, allowing for decent performance despite the higher weight of the estate.
With more than 130,000 units produced, the ID 19 estate achieved a notable commercial success, attracting French families in search of modernity and practicality. It significantly contributed to the democratization of estate usage in France.
Citroën in the 1960s: innovation for the general public
In the vibrant context of the 1960s, Citroën established itself as the most innovative French manufacturer. Following the triumph of the DS in 1955, the brand with the chevrons expanded its range with the ID, a more affordable yet equally revolutionary version. This strategy allowed Citroën to democratize its technological innovations.
Founded in 1919 by André Citroën, the brand quickly distinguished itself by its innovative spirit. A pioneer of mass production in Europe, Citroën revolutionized the French automotive industry. The 1960s marked the peak of this philosophy with models like the ID and the 2CV, which perfectly embodied French ingenuity.
This golden era saw Citroën continually pushing technical limits, proposing unprecedented solutions such as hydropneumatic suspension or directional headlights, making each model a technological showcase accessible to the general public.
An unknown movie star
The ID 19 estate has an astonishing filmography that far surpasses that of its cousin DS. In the 1960s and 1970s, it was consistently chosen by directors to embody the modern French bourgeois family. Its most memorable appearance is undoubtedly in "Les Grandes Vacances" by Jean Girault in 1967, where it accompanies the Bosquier family to Saint-Tropez.
This cinematographic preference can be explained by its perfect image of family modernity: sufficiently innovative to be appealing, but less
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).
Does the model car come with protection?
Yes, each model car is systematically delivered in its protective box. This box preserves the collectible value and protects your model car from dust and shocks.
How is my package protected during transport?
We package each order with the utmost care: bubble wrap, appropriate cushioning, and polystyrene. Your model car is perfectly secure during its journey.
