Harry P. Posted December 30, 2013 Posted December 30, 2013 Remember, don't post any hints or answers here! PM me with year, make and model. The answer: 1958 Renault Fregate Amiral
customsrus Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 I know it, i know it...... :-) That's just great, I still don't know what it is....
Austin T Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 Looks like a Nash and an Oldsmobile had a kid. It looks nice, to those that know was there ever a two door version?
otherunicorn Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 After hours of searching I have a pretty good idea of what it isn't.
dimaxion Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 Out of 105 Name this car , I've been 100% wrong . Or is it 105 % ?? lol.. Thanx ..
Harry P. Posted January 3, 2014 Author Posted January 3, 2014 Out of 105 Name this car , I've been 100% wrong . At least you're consistent!

Harry P. Posted January 3, 2014 Author Posted January 3, 2014 This week's car is a 1958 Renault Fregate Amiral (built from 1951-60). http://voitures.renault.free.fr/?img=820 Who got it right: Erik Smith maltsr MikeMc george53 Foxer ChrisR wisdonm Badluck13 lower99 Lovefordgalaxie GeeBee
DonW Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 Good one Harry, I just couldn't quite place it! Pretty car, especially for Renault.
Erik Smith Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 It is a neat car - and I like the photo, too - gray backdrop, subdued colors on the car, and a lady in red (with black gloves to coordinate with the black lower of the car). Hey, maybe Heller can make one now that they're making some new tools!
Lovefordgalaxie Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 The first time I saw one, I realized something interesting: The roof and doors are virtually the same as the ones on the Renault Dauphine (basic parts are the same, but trim and some stamped details change) The car is A LOT smaller than it looks by the picture.
customsrus Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 Looks like a Nash and an Oldsmobile had a kid. It looks nice, to those that know was there ever a two door version? They did make a similar car called the Fregate Chapron in a two door and a convertible. Here is a picture of them.
dimaxion Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 In my defanse , yes I am consistant . I had the Country of Orgin correct as I mostly get right . "Close but no Cigar" . Thanx ..
otherunicorn Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 What threw me was it was about 8 years behind the times for styling. I came across Renaults but my specified date was too early. Those rear fenders had long since gone out of style over in USA.
