Renault Dauphine!!!

In the early 1970s, a fellow student had one, an OK ride with one major flaw.

In cold weather, he always had to park facing a straightaway.
Locked in drive until warmed up.
Yes, it would start like that, and if you stood on the brake it would die.

A few laps around the parking lot and good to go.

Such a deal.

I lived in Deerfield Beach at the time. Got a 10 ft surfboard from Buck’ s Surfboards. When I drove up A1A with it tied to the Renault the car used to leave the road for short hops when we hit a dip in the road haha!
