One last car with a Ghia connection, the Renault Caravelle, or Floride as it was called in some countries, which was sold from 1958 to 1968. Designed by Pietro Frua when he was head of design at Ghia. Just as the original VW Karmann Ghia borrowed the Beetle as its base, so the Caravelle leant on Renault’s rear-engined Dauphine for most of its under-the-skin parts.
