In this column we take a look at unusual Renault products.
Renault's corporate gifts, from the most expensive and exclusive to the most affordable and manufactured in large numbers, are abundant. These gifts are designed according to the car you drive.
For example, Bram van der Laan once received a yellow gift box from Renault Southwest Inc. in Dallas, Texas. On the front is the side view of the Renault 16 with, below, the words 'sedan - wagon', the name given to the French sedan in the United States. The contents consist of a very nice comb and a rain hood. The set slips easily into the glove compartment and is always at hand, ready for use. This accessory makes it possible to put its hairstyle in order and to protect it immediately when it rains before leaving the comfortable interior of the French sedan.
Some time ago, Bram, back in Texas, went to Dallas to find the dealer located at 8300 Souvereign Row. But today, at this address, there is no longer a Renault dealership, not even the building that housed it.
