There once was a little Renault. It was very, VERY French..... This time we mess with a 1960 Renault Dauphine, one of the goofier French cars ever made and that's saying a lot!
Hello Werks, first of all I wish you wouldn't grow secondary pubic hair, it's so of putting. Back in the 60s a friend of mine had both his legs chopped off in a railway accident, so with his massive compensation playout he went and bought a brand new Dauphine, had it converted to hand controls and drove it everywhere, he loved it. The point is that after he lost his legs under a rail waggon he suffered from depression (wouldn't you) But found that when he felt down driving his Dauphine for mile after mile was better than a bucket of anti depressants to lift his mood.
Made in France ( of course it has yellow headlamps ), killed in US by barge repairers. Last batch were " lost at sea " when ship sank. They didn't sell well and accident rate was high as cornering was not a thing they did well.
Bravo! to the three of you! Love the car and the video. I was surprised to see that it's a rare Renault high performance 4 door Dauphine. Good for you for scoring one of the super-rare limited edition Bungie models. Well done and Taylor, I hope your uterus has returned to it's god-given normal size. Seriously....you guys kill me! Did Noah ever return? Is this his, shall we say, investment? See you manana.
@@dougn2350 no, we were unknowingly damaging our own car. At the time of filming, we owned the car and had intentions of fixing it. Plans changed, we sold the car. Months later, we put a short video together of our time with the car.
Honestly, this one sucks. I can’t remember the brand, I chucked it shortly after this. It broke for the third time in a year, I was sick of warrantying it so I trashed it.
My parents had one before I was born though I don't believe there are any photos of it. I think that was the car that got caught by a street trolley in Chester, PA and was dragged down the street. Or it's one of the several cars he turned over, the one that slid sideways on ice slowly into a curb and turned onto its side. Maybe both. I sure as poo would not want to take a curve above 30mph with that rear camber change.
Us too! This one was surprisingly solid despite a previous owner cutting the springs to lower it. It rode like absolute shit but it was a cute little car.
@@wickedwerks , we've got a Dauphine Gordini in Spain from 1963 to 1973 and It was not that bad as you say. It was a quite fast and reliable car for that period. Maybe for outside Europe, mainly in the USA, It was not a good car, but our standards were quite different from the USA ones. The real problem in your country was the poor Renault service. The other thing is that any car with less than 800HP is a sh*It in your country. That's the USA way of life. Cheers from Barcelona (Spain - EEC).
I had a 1960 Renault Dauphine same color about 48 years ago. It was damn bad mechanical design and gave me many hard times during a year I had it. I never think about French car since then.
