Renault Frégate
(1951 - 1957)
Car articles about Renault Frégate by year
The large Renault of the fifties was a milestone in many respects. The elegant saloon was extremely streamlined, had independent suspension all round and a self-supporting body. Six people could travel at 135 km/h in the Frégate and the car needed just under 10 liters per 100 km (albeit at lower speeds). This report tells the story of the French post-war luxury sedan and shows it in many archive photos and in the original sales brochure.
In 1955, the magazine 'hobby' received the Renault Frégate Amiral for testing. The author obviously found it difficult to remain neutral, the vehicle was so convincing. That's why he got a critical co-driver, but even he could hardly find a fly in the ointment. The restored and newly edited test report shows the few weaknesses, but above all the many strengths of the French car.
The Renault Frégate didn't have it easy. When it was still ahead of the competition, teething troubles ruined its reputation. By the time it had finally matured, it was already considered outdated again. The estate called Domaine was no different: it was stylish and spacious - but not stylish or spacious enough. This article tells the story of the first large Renault after the war with lots of historical images and sales literature and shows a Domaine from 1957 in color.
