DynaMike ◊ 2011-11-24 21:03	I think it reads 'Renault'...

In the meanwhile the previous Floride remains for a year. In 1963 the range is simplified with only the coupé as Caravelle and the cabriolet as Floride S. In 1964 the range change again with new engine 1100cc from the Estafette, and Floride name is dropped on the cabriolet. Both are named Caravelle 1100 Coupé or Cabriolet. This YM is easy to recognize by C A R A V E L L E on the front replacing the preceding logo (of a caravelle boat) In 1966 they become 1100 S with an improvment of power engine. In 1968 , last YM, they are renamed as Caravelle with no 1100. -- Last edit: 2011-11-24 21:18:04
