Description from the seller
Renault Frégate – The French upper-class flagship of the 1950s
• France's answer: After World War II Renault primarily built small, economical cars like the 4CV. With the Frégate they wanted to show that France could again build large, comfortable touring sedans to compete with brands like Citroën.
• American influence: The design with flowing lines, the hinted tail fins, and lots of chrome was heavily inspired by American vehicles of the time and radiated optimism as well as modernity.
• Technologically advanced: For the 1950s, the Frégate was modernly equipped – including a unibody construction and independent suspension around all four wheels for excellent ride comfort.
• Innovations: Later versions even feature the semi-automatic "Transfluide" transmission.
Today the Renault Frégate is a sought-after classic. The model perfectly captures contemporary charm – especially with the elegant whitewall tires.
