1959-1968 Renault Caravelle

Called Floride in Europe the name was changed to Caravelle for cars headed to the U.S. The latter defined a light, fast, European ship from the 15th Century, but Americans more likely associated it with the first French-built jetliner of the same name that found favour with U.S. Airlines in the early Sixties.


"While its uniqueness no doubt appealed to many original purchasers, the ravages of time- amplified by the vulnerability of French sheet metal to rust- have thinned their already meager ranks to the point that Caravelles are as scarce as hen's teeth. Of course, that means that finding one in the first place will likely involve a lengthy search..."
