Renault Frégate

The Renault Frégate is a full-size or executive car produced by the French automaker Renault between 1951 and 1960. The Frégate was conceived in the years immediately following World War II. Renault, which then had recently been brought under control of the French state, needed a new modern, upmarket model both to improve its image and to cater to the needs of middle class consumers in the hoped for economic recovery.
