This is a late 30s Renault. I always get confused by the multitude of names and versions, but I'd say this is a 1936 Celtaquatre [ADC1]. Needs confimation, au secours Sixcyl! |

The wheels of this one are not 1936 .1936 Renaults had spiked artillery type wheels.This one has the new 12 hole wheel rims introduced on the 1937 models.I go for a 1937 Renault Celtaquatre |

As I said I'm really not a connoisseur in this area, but I think that the 1937 models had their spare wheel already inside (in a drawer behind the small spare-wheel-boot-lid) or in a 'real' trunk. About the wheels I'm not sure, it's quite dark. Cf 1936: http://home.wanadoo.nl/celta/pagina/adc1.htm Cf 1937: http://home.wanadoo.nl/celta/pagina/adc2.htm (also scroll down) |

Dear Mike, Pilou is right about this type of wheels which belong to the 1937 type (12 holes type), but normaly their colour should be light cream and not dark as the colour of the body. The Celtastandard (eco version of the Celta4) has dark wheels but still artillery type. The trunk on Celtaquatre or Primaquatre was optional since 1937 .Therefore we can't conclude on that particular point. The indicators light on the C-pillar are aftermarket devices, maybe even postwar. Well, I'd rather go for a Celtaquatre 1937 as the wheels match to it |

OK, great to learn more about these 'aerodynamic' Renaults. |
