Can any US car experts identify this?

Post by Purplethistle »

I'm not even sure that this is a US make of car, but can anyone identify it on the slim chance that there is a kit out there that I could use to replicate this scene?

It's a Renault Caravelle (also known as a Renault Floride).

Interesting not aware of that car before. I was going to guess at a Volvo P1800 which has similar looks

I thought that at first glance, but noticed the rear air intakes like the old Renault Dauphine on what it was based.
My work bench is starting to look like Portsmouth Naval Dockyard.
