Description from the seller
An American truck in the French way! When Renault decided in the 1950s to build a sturdy and practical vehicle for the countryside, they created the Colorale.
This 1955 model, in the 'chassis-cab' version, features a 2L engine developing 58 horsepower and has 89,000 km on the odometer. In the 1950s, there were seven versions of this model; in this 'chassis-cab' version, the presented model was equipped with a wooden box that has been completely recreated.
The displayed item has been fully restored: disassembled, sanded, primed, and repainted, and it has regained its original green coat.
All mechanical wear parts have been replaced or refurbished.
The bench was redone by a saddle maker.
The engine in good condition has been revised, and all fluids have been changed.
The battery and the tires are new.
All invoices are available, along with many photos of the restoration.
There is a small scratch on the hood.
The mirror on the fender is not original.
The car's behavior is rustic, typical of the 1950s.
The car is registered as a collector's vehicle with FFVE in France.
It is visible near Indre 36.
It is advised to see the vehicle before making an offer to avoid any disappointment. For an appointment, please contact Catawiki.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
