The Renault 4, French automotive revolution
Launched in 1961, the Renault 4 revolutionized the popular French car. Pierre Dreyfus, then CEO of Renault, aimed to create a practical and economical vehicle capable of competing with the Citroën 2CV. The bet was bold: to offer a spacious car, simple to use, and accessible to the largest number.
This revolutionary sedan stands out with its rear hatch, a remarkable innovation for the time that radically transforms automotive use. Its torsion bar suspension and dashboard-mounted gearbox make it a particularly maneuverable and practical vehicle for everyday life.
The success was immediate and lasting. The Renault 4 quickly became one of the best-selling cars in France, symbolizing the democratization of the automobile and the entrance into the Trente Glorieuses.
Renault in the 1960s
In 1964, Renault was undergoing an exceptional period of expansion. The national company, led by Pierre Dreyfus since 1955, multiplied innovations and diversified its range. After the success of the Dauphine, the diamond brand set its sights on practical vehicles like the 4L to conquer new markets.
This era also marked the rise of modern automotive marketing. Renault understood the importance of media visibility and naturally partnered with major French sporting events. The Tour de France, an exceptional showcase of French expertise, became a privileged partner to present the brand's innovations.
The advertising saga of the Tour de France
The 1964 Tour de France marked a turning point in the history of French sports communication. This edition, won by Jacques Anquetil, saw a particularly colorful and innovative advertising caravan parade along the roads. The vehicles in the sponsors' colors became essential elements of the cycling spectacle.
Berger, the emblematic brand of the time, brilliantly utilized this exceptional showcase to promote its products. The bright red vehicles crisscrossed French roads, creating a strong emotional connection with the crowds gathered along the sides. This revolutionary marketing strategy forever transformed the perception of advertising in sport.
The Renault 4 Berger thus became a symbol of a carefree era where automotive innovation met the popular celebration of cycling. These vehicles, true rolling ambassadors, contributed to anchoring the image of modernity and dynamism deeply in the French collective consciousness.

Our model cars are mainly offered in 1/43, 1/24, 1/18 and 1/87 (HO) scales. The scale is always indicated in the product sheet.
