Renault Floride Coupé, 1958. Designed by Pietro Frua when he was working for Carrozzeria Ghia, the Floride was a coupé and convertible based on the Renault Dauphine. Conceived specifically for the US market where the Dauphine was struggling, a convention of Renault dealers held in Florida demanded a coupé/convertible to improve Renault's image in North America. In English speaking markets including the US the Floride was renamed the Caravelle. It remained in production until 1968 though by that time sales had dropped off considerably.

it’s such bad quality but if y’all zoom in on the first picture and look at the photo on the left, you could see Elvis sitting on this girl (Roswitha Klaus) and I’m in desperate need of a clearer image 🤧

if anyone has it and would like to share it, I would love you forever!! <3

(pictured excerpt from “Elvis: The army years uncovered” by Trina young // highly recommended !!)
