Founded in France in 1932, Solido has developed into one of the most iconic brands in the world of scale models. The company started as a manufacturer of toys and model cars and has built a strong reputation over the years for its high-quality and detailed miniatures.

In the early years, Solido mainly produced metal models of vehicles, which were a popular choice for toys and collectors at the time. The focus was on producing scale models that were both attractive and affordable. This made Solido models accessible to a wide audience, from children to adult collectors.

In the 1950s and 1960s, Solido introduced an innovative product range (Series 100) that became known for its detailed and accurate scale models. The company started producing models in various scales, including 1:43, which is now one of the most popular scales for collectors. Solido's attention to detail, including realistic finishes and authentic colours, made their models beloved by car enthusiasts and collectors all over the world.

One of the highlights in Solido’s history was the introduction of their “Rally” models in the 1970s. These models reflected the excitement of rallying and included popular vehicles that competed in famous races. Their sporty appearance and use of eye-catching decals made these models particularly desirable.

Over the years, Solido has collaborated with various car manufacturers, resulting in an extensive collection of iconic vehicles, from classic cars to modern race cars. Solido models are popular not only for their beauty, but also for their durability and quality of workmanship.

In the 21st century, Solido continues to remain relevant by introducing new models and collaborating with other brands. The company has expanded its product line to meet the changing needs of collectors and enthusiasts, with modern production techniques and innovative designs.

Today, Solido is not only an established name in the world of scale models, but also a beloved brand for collectors worldwide. Solido models are often praised for their accuracy, craftsmanship and affordability, and they continue to play an important role in the hearts of car enthusiasts and collectors.
