Renault Le Car


It it is hard to believe that the Renault Le Car was designed and built in France. All these years I thought the crisp flowing lines was a product of styling studios of Italian's Bertone or Giugiaro. I love the way the grille flows into the headlight, or how deeply inset the lamps are positioned. This front end is probably as aerodynamic as an outhouse. For those of you too young to know what this is, think porta potty lying on its side. The racing(?) stripe on the side really emphasizes the performance slant that a Le Car exudes. Unfortunately where I live, rust has taken its toll on these fine vehicles and sent them to an early grave and there are no more to drool over. Didn't AMC sell these nuggets as well as the Renault Alliances? If so, way to go AMC!
