Bisbee, AZ Renault Caravelle (2148)

Renault Caravelle, built by Renault for the U.S. market from 1958 to 1968. Roughly based on the Renault Dauphine, the early models had a rear engine with 40 HP (similar to a VW bug at that time.) The vehicle was originally named "Floride" but that name was not used in the U.S. due to fear that people would assume the car was made for Florida. For some odd reason I had a fascination with French cars when I was young, probably because Renault's were much smaller than U.S. cars and seemed more refined than VW's.
