During the concours d’élégance, sponsored by Fémina and l’Intransigeant,
in June 1930, at the Parc des Prince stadium in Paris, Renault exhibited a
Reinastella RM coachbuilt by Kellner as a torpedo scaphandrier (can be
translated as diver torpedo).
The carrosserie Kellner was probably the most exclusive coachbuilder
in France by the end of the 20’s. Its style can be defined as classical always
good taste and elegant lines. Kellner built bodies for any type of chassis from
sports car to the French presidential parade cars.
Several “scaphandriers” were built on Renault and Panhard
chassis. Very few survived but I recently saw an amazing video of one big Renault
found in a barn in the US! Most probably
a future entrant for the Pebble beach concours…
