1969 Renault 4 van


In contrast to typical automotive advertising of the era which emphasised, often with deliberately distorted artwork, a vehicle's size and carrying capacity, this publicity photo seems to diminish the Renault 4 van's carrying capacity with those big tires in the background, each one of which seems almost as big as the van itself.

For those into specifications:

5-door hatchback, front-wheel drive with manual 4-speed gearbox.
Engine displacement: 845 cc/ 51.4 cubic inches;
Power: 25 kW / 34 hp;

Wheelbase: 2421 mm / 95.3 inches
Standard tire size: 135 SR 13
Official base curb weight: 695 kg / 1532 lbs.
Top speed: 120 km/h (75 mph)
