Car articles about Renault 4 CV Decapotable by year
The first drawings for the Renault 4 CV "rear" were produced in 1941. Twenty years later, the last 4 CV rolled off the assembly line. Over a million cars were produced, more vehicles than - all added together - had previously been manufactured under the management of Louis Renault. The beginning had been more than rocky, but in the end all expectations were exceeded and the Renault 4 CV became the French Volkswagen. This report summarizes the eventful development history of the Renault 4 CV, supplemented by many historical illustrations, several sales brochures and the owner's manual.
Between 1946 and 1961, Renault produced over 1.1 million of the 4 CV, also known as the Renault Heck or Crèmeschnittchen in our part of the world, creating a true Volkswagen of France. However, the rear-engined four-door was not only successful in everyday life, but also in racing, as evidenced by class victories at the Monte Carlo Rally, Le Mans and the Mille Miglia. This vehicle report portrays a Renault 4 CV R 1062 from 1957, which completed the historic Mille Miglia in 2012, and looks back on the sporting history of the Renault 4 CV, supplemented by archive images and around a dozen sales brochures.
For most people, the VW Beetle is the Volkswagen par excellence, in every sense of the word. A car for the people, a people's car. And the Beetle was indeed an above-average success. But before it, Ford's Model T had already passed the 15 million mark, and in modern times the Toyota Corolla, VW Golf and Ford's F-series even managed to reach over 30 million, although they were not the only people's cars to do so. This report looks back at some selected production successes in car history and shows them in 200 pictures. A feast for the eyes!
