@@dougn2350 no, we were unknowingly damaging our own car. At the time of filming, we owned the car and had intentions of fixing it. Plans changed, we sold the car. Months later, we put a short video together of our time with the car.
Made in France ( of course it has yellow headlamps ), killed in US by barge repairers. Last batch were " lost at sea " when ship sank. They didn't sell well and accident rate was high as cornering was not a thing they did well.
Bravo! to the three of you! Love the car and the video. I was surprised to see that it's a rare Renault high performance 4 door Dauphine. Good for you for scoring one of the super-rare limited edition Bungie models. Well done and Taylor, I hope your uterus has returned to it's god-given normal size. Seriously....you guys kill me! Did Noah ever return? Is this his, shall we say, investment? See you manana.
I just remember hearing the name Renault Dauphine on car commercials when I was a kid. I just wanted to look it up and see what it looks like. Cute car.
Some of your video's opening minutes are simply uninformed, and if you had an owner's manual you would have understood. The hood is latched with a lever under the dash, not by forcing it down on the hood itself. The opening in the front bumper is where the spare tire is kept - rather than taking up the limited space of the front trunk like VW's of that era. Having said that, my Dad had a1958 Dauphine that was a disaster. He wanted a VW Beetle but it had a waiting list of a year and couldn't wait. He had to hand crank it in winter as its 6V starter couldn't turn it over fast enough in winter. It's main engine bearings failed within a year and he traded it in at a great loss as he still had another full year of loan payments. Despite all that, in August 1958 we went on a vacation at the NJ shore. It was a 4-hour drive. My dad drove with my mom in the front passenger street. My overweight grandmother and short skinny grandfather were in the rear passenger seat. I was 4 years old, and my 2 year old sister and I sat on our grandparent's laps (no seat belts!) Some luggage was in the front trunk, but the bulk of it was on a strap-on roof rack, topped off with my fire engine pedal car, all held on with bungee cords. It wasn't a pleasant trip with no air conditioning.
Honestly, this one sucks. I can’t remember the brand, I chucked it shortly after this. It broke for the third time in a year, I was sick of warrantying it so I trashed it.
Hello Werks, first of all I wish you wouldn't grow secondary pubic hair, it's so of putting. Back in the 60s a friend of mine had both his legs chopped off in a railway accident, so with his massive compensation playout he went and bought a brand new Dauphine, had it converted to hand controls and drove it everywhere, he loved it. The point is that after he lost his legs under a rail waggon he suffered from depression (wouldn't you) But found that when he felt down driving his Dauphine for mile after mile was better than a bucket of anti depressants to lift his mood.
I remember these back in the day. They needed about 20 more HP rand about 1.5 liter. Mostly what was n3ded was a decent dealer network and decent parts supply. It was the support after sales that sucked. Attractive little car for its time
My parents had one before I was born though I don't believe there are any photos of it. I think that was the car that got caught by a street trolley in Chester, PA and was dragged down the street. Or it's one of the several cars he turned over, the one that slid sideways on ice slowly into a curb and turned onto its side. Maybe both. I sure as poo would not want to take a curve above 30mph with that rear camber change.
Us too! This one was surprisingly solid despite a previous owner cutting the springs to lower it. It rode like absolute shit but it was a cute little car.
@@wickedwerks , we've got a Dauphine Gordini in Spain from 1963 to 1973 and It was not that bad as you say. It was a quite fast and reliable car for that period. Maybe for outside Europe, mainly in the USA, It was not a good car, but our standards were quite different from the USA ones. The real problem in your country was the poor Renault service. The other thing is that any car with less than 800HP is a sh*It in your country. That's the USA way of life. Cheers from Barcelona (Spain - EEC).
I had a 1960 Renault Dauphine same color about 48 years ago. It was damn bad mechanical design and gave me many hard times during a year I had it. I never think about French car since then.

guys, why are you doing this? this beauty deserves much more respect.
You know the hood doesn’t auto-latch right? You have to set it down gently and then latch it with the handle…
We know that now 😂 not that it matters, we sold the car about six months before making that video
@@wickedwerks.... so you were deliberately damaging the owners car?

Delivered Circulars for a Renault dealership on Long Island around 1960

Hahaha! I bet if you looked in the workshop manual it definitely says to use a bungie cord. Well done!
One of my top three favorite channels…I wonder what that says about me?😮
That's a rare car nowadays.
Not a rare car but a rare junk.

There's so many different brands of jump starters, which one do you use, I like how much juice it deploys lol

@@wickedwerks thank you, good looking out

I wonder if that trumpet does anything. I have a late big valve 845cc and I have been looking at ways to make it more fun
These look so cool.

A very pretty car
Jump pack for the win. 😂 MVP.
La Dauphine a été vendu a deux millions d'exemplaires en EUROPE.
Please les boys. Un peu de respect pour cette grand mère.😢

Cool car. What was the point of abusing it for clicks?
The suspension was cut out before we bought it. We weren’t doing anything worse to it than it would have endured being driven the way it was.
I actually like the cuteness, but I’d have to shove in lot of money to make it cool 😂
Someone thinks they are a Gordini with that engine note.
I've seen these with a VW 1600 Dp conversion. Now I know why. Pretty car, junk execution.
One of the most horrible things that ever came out of France.
Cette petite Renault était bien plus fiable que vos Morgan et Jaguar , véritables nids à problèmes les voitures Anglaises.
Qué poca sensibilidad tienen estos tíos; no saben apreciar la sencillez mecánica ni la belleza de una carrocería.
I heard that these were rust buckets.

This one is nice too. I'm sure it will get your

Lmfao. Awesome little car.
In a country of unlimited stupidity
You will never hit puberty
Taylor can I please schedule a suspension test for my 64. Great job puberty for the win😂
No respect for an old french classic car
@@alfredrey3556 no respect for the French period 😂

Obviously not you guys.

You need a hobby 😂

Those have 3 lug nuts per wheel.
Many French stupid cars have 3 lug nuts per wheel. A very stupid design and idea.
