In the 1920s Henri Labourdette built elaborate coachwork for both the Renault 40CV and the smaller 6CV, exhibiting the same flair as the chauffeur-driven Rolls-Royce and Hispano-Suiza automobiles of the day. This 6-cylinder 40CV model has had three owners since new and is typical of the French design style still seen at Renault in modern times.
