Renault Caravelle 1100 in Cannes France Europe. The Renault Caravelle is a convertible car manufactured by the French brand Renault between 1958 and 1968. During the first 4 years of production it was known as the Renault Floride throughout the world except in the United States and Canada where it was called the Caravelle. The Floride was presented in 1958 at the Paris Automobile Fair. It was a small rear-engine convertible designed by Pietro Frua of Carrozzeria Ghia SpA. It used the chassis and engine of the Renault Dauphine sedan. A year after its appearance in Europe, it was launched in the United States and Canada as the Renault Caravelle. The original Dauphine-derived engine, somewhat underpowered, was replaced in 1962 by a 956 cc engine from the new Renault 8. Likewise, the Floride name is definitely replaced by Caravelle in all markets. In 1964 it adopts another 1108 cc (56 hp) engine later used in the Renault 8 TS.
