The Original Model: A Symbol of Prestigious Automobiles
The Lorraine-Diétrich of 1911 represented the pinnacle of luxury automobiles in the early 20th century. With a 4-cylinder engine developing remarkable power for the time, this car embodied the technical excellence and aesthetic refinement sought by a wealthy and demanding clientele.
This model stood out for its elegant body with pure lines, luxurious standard equipment, and exceptional reliability. The quality of construction and attention to detail made each Lorraine-Diétrich a rolling work of art, symbolizing technological progress and French craftsmanship.
Its commercial success among the European aristocracy and bourgeoisie confirmed the brand's reputation for excellence, positioning Lorraine-Diétrich among the most respected prestige manufacturers of its time.
Lorraine-Diétrich: The Franco-German Alliance in Automobiles
The history of Lorraine-Diétrich began in 1896 with the partnership between the De Dietrich establishments of Alsace and the French engineer Amédée Bollée fils. This Franco-German collaboration gave rise to exceptional automobiles that profoundly shaped the nascent industry.
By 1911, the period to which our miniature belongs, the brand had already established a solid reputation through its technical innovations and successes in competition. The workshops in Lunéville produced vehicles that combined sporting performance with bourgeois comfort, attracting an international clientele in search of exclusivity.
The Car that Defied Conventions
The Lorraine-Diétrich of 1911 was one of the first automobiles to democratize certain innovations previously reserved for racing models. Its advanced cooling system and revolutionary transmission allowed it to reach unprecedented speeds for a touring vehicle.
A delightful anecdote recounts that a owner of the 1911 Lorraine-Diétrich, Count de Volontat, astonished guests at a Parisian reception by arriving faster than the express train Paris-Deauville. This technical feat made waves in the salons of the capital and greatly contributed to the brand's reputation for reliability.
The car quickly became the symbol of an era when the automobile transformed ways of life. It embodied the technological optimism of the Belle Époque, a period of innovations and carefree living that preceded the Great War. Owning a Lorraine-Diétrich was to display one's modernity and membership in an enlightened elite.

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.
