1956 Citroën DS 19
2,230 bricks • Age 11+ • 1:12 scale
The Citroën DS 19, introduced in 1955, was a revolutionary luxury passenger car that remained in production until 1975. Upon its debut, the DS 19 caused a worldwide sensation thanks to its innovative technology and modern design. With its sleek silhouette, elegant lines, and chrome accents, the model quickly became an icon of progressive French automotive engineering.
The DS 19 was powered by a 1.9-liter four-cylinder 74 hp petrol engine and was the first car in the world with a hydraulic suspension system. This system provided exceptional ride comfort, stability, and the ability to adjust the ride height to suit road conditions. The interior was spacious and luxurious, featuring comfortable leather seats. It is no coincidence that French President Charles de Gaulle chose this model as his official car – further cementing the DS 19’s status as a symbol of prestige and elegance.
The COBI block set brings this historic model to life in great detail. Thanks to the 1:12 scale and 2,230 bricks, the characteristic shape of the DS 19 could be accurately recreated. Once completed, the car measures a full 40 cm long. The model features numerous details and high-quality durable prints (no stickers). New brick elements were developed specifically for this model, including the characteristic windshield.
The set also offers numerous interactive features:
-
opening doors, hood, and trunk
-
a working steering wheel that turns the wheels
-
a detailed engine built from bricks
-
a beautifully designed interior with dashboard and seating
The DS 19 is a must-have for collectors and classic car enthusiasts. Thanks to the clear manual and numbered bags, the build is smooth and enjoyable.
