| Tweet | ||
 |  |  | Phaeton Chassis Num: NN15073 |
The Rena is much smaller than normal cars of its day, yet it is perfectly in proportion due to the painstaking efforts of Hibbard. It was constructed on a cut-down 1937 Renault chassis with a custom body that was chopped to give it the look of a smaller Ford. The Rena is powered by a 1937 Flathead Ford V-8 mated to a three-speed manual transmission with a 1932 Ford rear end customized to fit the frame. The dashboard instruments are from a 1936 Ford and the steering column is customized from a 1937 Ford. The total weight of this vehicle is 1,200 pounds. The body is all steel.
