Renault Model CB

1912 Model CB

This ‘Coupe de Ville” provided the great and definitive foundation for Renault.  It was adopted in the Belle Epoque by the educated and libertine French middle-class.

In 1912, William Carter bought one and was planning to transport it from Southampton, England to New York City on the RMS Titanic. Carter was saved but the car sunk in the Atlantic.  A replica was requested by James Cameron and 20th Century Fox for their motion picture Titanic.
