By the mid-1920s, Renault had become an established manufacturer of
well-designed French automobiles. The company introduced the 6CV
line in 1922, starting with the KJ model, followed by the MT, and
NN in 1924. The NN proved to be a popular middle-class family car,
powered by a four-cylinder 951cc side-valve engine.
This NN town car wears an older restoration by Hillcrest Motor
Company of Los Angeles, with a maroon colored body accented by
black fenders. This example is especially unique, as it was
delivered new with a bespoke town car body by renowned Parisian
coachbuilder Henri Labourdette.
Labourdette bodies were known for their remarkable quality and
creative design, and this car is no exception. While the
recognizable Renault "shovel nose" front end remains, the rest of
the body features Labourdette coachwork. The driver's compartment
is protected by a nickel-framed windscreen, while the passenger
compartment is lavishly appointed with cane-work panels, a nickel
roof rack, nickel carriage lamps, and a split divider window with
two separate opening panes. The passenger compartment is both
elegant and comfortable, upholstered in tan fabric. This car is
fitted with wire wheels, complementing the opulent Labourdette
coachwork. This outstanding Renault NN includes some technical
literature and various materials from prior ownership.
