Renault
RENAULT DAUPHINE
Saloon.
France's first two-million seller, and effectively an updated and roomier 4CV with enough brake horses to make it lethal. Few left: they were rust traps. Ferle clutch option for '57, variable-rate suspension for 1960, optional four-speed 'box (desirable) from 1964 model-year, and all-disc brakes from '64. A performer in its day, with an honest 45mpg.
