Renault 4CV 1956 Used

Early on, the 4CV managed to influence legislation in its favour; its headlights were mounted lower than legally specified, prompting a change in French law. Furthermore, it became the first French-of which a million were sold, eventually reaching 1.1 million. Today, it stands among the ranks of classic cars with a high degree of compliment, alongside the Mini, Fiat 500, Beetle, and 2CV.
