The History of the Renault 4L
Launched in 1961, the Renault 4L revolutionizes popular French automobiles by offering a practical, economical, and versatile car. Designed to democratize the automobile, it stands out with its rear hatch, a major innovation that makes it the ancestor of modern compact sedans. With its torsion bar suspension and front-wheel drive, the 4L offers remarkable driving comfort for its time.
This iconic model quickly captivated French families thanks to its exceptional modularity and unbeatable price-quality ratio. The folding rear bench instantly transforms the car into a small utility vehicle, meeting the varied needs of a diverse clientele ranging from individuals to craftsmen.
Produced in over 8 million units until 1992, the Renault 4L becomes one of the best-selling French cars of all time, profoundly marking the collective imagination and exporting worldwide.
Renault in the 1960s
During this prosperous period, Renault establishes itself as one of the most innovative European car manufacturers. The diamond brand, still publicly regulated, benefits from French state investments in industrial modernization. This era corresponds to the economic boom of the Trente Glorieuses, a period when the automobile becomes accessible to the masses.
The company then develops a daring diversification strategy with models like the Dauphine, the R8, and of course the 4L, each targeting specific market segments. This approach allows Renault to effectively compete with its rivals Citroën and Peugeot in the French market, while also developing a significant international presence.
The 4L, Ambassador of French Advertising
In the 1960s-70s, the Renault 4L becomes a true mobile advertising platform for numerous French brands. Its popularity and presence on all the roads of France make it an advertising medium of choice for companies looking to reach the general public. Leroux chicory, a northern brand founded in 1858, is among those advertisers who intelligently use this iconic vehicle.
These advertising vehicles participate in commercial tours in villages and markets, distributing samples and leaflets. The Leroux-colored 4L travels the roads of France, especially in the North where chicory remains a well-loved traditional drink. These colorful cars mark the childhood of an entire generation that sees them pass by on the streets.
The association between the 4L and everyday brands like Leroux perfectly illustrates the French spirit of this optimistic and growth-oriented era. These advertising vehicles testify to a France in motion, where automotive modernity meets regional culinary traditions, creating a unique visual heritage that still fascinates collectors today.
Leroux chicory, produced in Orchies in the North, represents a significant part of French gastronomic heritage. Its advertising vehicles, including this charming blue 4L, contribute to the radiance of a family brand that spans decades while preserving its authenticity.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to understand the scales of miniatures?
Scale indicates the reduction ratio between the real car and the miniature. For example, at 1:43 scale, each centimeter on the miniature corresponds to 43 centimeters on the real vehicle.

What scales are available?
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.
