This 1961 Renault Caravelle was purchased and driven by a Lady in Texas very sparingly up to 1973. Than it somehow made its way into dry storage in Texas and was not found till 2013. Than it was stored again for 3 years and finally brought back to life. Whats incredible is the Paint looks Original and looks to be a rust free car.
