Renault Cars
Louis Renault formed Societe Renault Freres with his brothers in 1899. Early on Renault realised the publicity value in motor racing and actively participated in this sport. Renault assisted the war effort during 1914-18 with lorries and tanks, in addition to tractors, taxis buses and aircraft. The second world war was a different story, and under Nazi occupation Louis Renault refused to build German tanks, but did agree to build lorries for the Germans. His efforts found him accused of collaboration and he died in prison before he could answer the charge, and as a result Renault were nationalised by the French government.

 Renault 4CV front
Renault 4CV. Launched in 1947, the 4CV was designed to be a French 'Beetle', and indeed was developed in secret away from the eyes of the occupying Nazis during WW2.

 Renault 4CV rear
Renault 4CV. Known as "La motte de beurre" (the lump of butter) because of the yellow colour of the launch cars and the shape of its body. Powered by a 748cc rear-mounted engine, it was in production from 1947-61 and almost outlasted its successor, the Dauphine, which should have replaced the 4CV in 1956.
