Renault Fregate Ondine Ghia by Esdo
1953
The Ghia styled Ondine convertible was first shown at the 1953 Paris Motor Show and three fibreglass-bodied replicas were built and used by Renault for promotional purposes. The cars were used to head the Tour de France promotional caravan and the example modelled here was also photographed with Edith Piaf in period. The shape of the car looks very good and the smaller detailing is delicately done with nice touches including tinted sun visors. The fine metallic green colour is a little dark when compared with photos of the restored car but the general finish is good.
