Atlas Dinky Toys No. 501 Citroën DS19 "police"
The Atlas Dinky Toys No. 501 Citroën DS19 "Police" is a detailed replica of the famous Citroën DS19 in a unique police car livery. This model was produced by Atlas as a tribute to the original Dinky Toys, which have been loved by collectors of classic miniature cars since their introduction.
The real Citroën DS19, launched in 1955, was a revolutionary car, famous for its advanced technology such as hydropneumatic suspension, aerodynamic shape and futuristic design. The DS19 was often used as a luxury police vehicle, partly because of its speed and comfortable driving behaviour, which made it ideal for patrolling the French roads.
The Dinky Toys police car reflects this iconic car with great attention to detail, including the recognizable black and white police colours and flashing light on the roof. This example is in very nice condition and comes with the original box and a Dutch brochure, making it a particularly valuable collector's item for lovers of classic cars and miniature police cars.
