Catalogue information
Ivory body, black roof, cast hubs, no windows. This is the earliest model made, to see the whole (hi) story, read on ... Mint value in 2004: € 153 1956: DS 19 released with no windows and catalog # 24c. 1958: In the catalog, the model is presented in a new version with windows and a 'p' added to the catalog number: 24cp. The old version, 24c has been retired. 1959: Dinky France change their numbering, "24cp" becomes "522" model remains unchanged, but new colors added. In the 1959 catalog both the old and the new number is shown, side by side. 1960: both numbers, 24cp and 522 are still shown in the catalog. 1961: 24cp is gone from the catalog. 1964: A new luxury version (# 530) is introduced - it has interior, opening bonnet and trunk, steering and suspension. The 522 remains and the two are listed side by side in the catalog. 1966: Huge catalog, almost a full page per model, leaving lots of room to describe gimmicks and features. 522 is now starting to look very old fashioned and primitive: "with windows" is all it has to brag about. All other streetcars now have interiors, most have suspension and quite a few have opening parts. Only a few trucks still remain interiorless. 1968: 522 is gone, 530 remains 1971: 530 is gone 1976: Pilen (Auto-Pilen) of Spain has modified and modernized 530, and it is relaunched by Dinky France, now as a DS 23, the cat # 530 is re-used.
