Atlas Dinky Toys No. 543 Renault Floride

The Atlas Dinky Toys No. 543 Renault Floride is a detailed reproduction of a classic Dinky Toys model, based on the stylish Renault Floride, one of the most iconic French sports cars of the late 1950s and early 1960s. The Renault Floride was introduced in 1958 as an elegant coupe-cabriolet, specially designed for the international market, particularly the United States. The car was known for its sleek, streamlined design, which was co-developed by the Italian design house Ghia. The Floride quickly became a symbol of luxury and style, loved for its refined appearance and comfortable driving experience.

The Renault Floride was designed to appeal to a younger audience looking for a compact, sporty car with a touch of glamour. In Europe, the Floride was also popular for its versatility and the fact that it was available as both a coupe and a convertible. Its successor, the Renault Caravelle, built on the success of the Floride, but this original model remains a favourite among car enthusiasts.
