About the Renault Floride Black Norev 1:18

TL;DR: Norev's 1:18 diecast Renault Floride in Black reproduces the stylish early-1960s convertible built on Renault's Dauphine platform. Opening doors, new model, new box. A distinctive French open-top rarely seen in scale form.

The Floride brought genuine style to Renault's lineup in an era dominated by practical sedans, sharing mechanicals with the Dauphine but wrapping them in a considerably more glamorous convertible body. Norev's diecast preserves that elegance faithfully.

Diecast Craft on a Delicate Convertible Shape

Black is a demanding color for any diecast, showing every surfacing imperfection under direct light, and this casting holds up well, with straight character lines running the length of the low doors and a clean, uninterrupted profile befitting the Floride's design ambitions. Doors open on this model, revealing a simple but tidy cabin true to the era's minimal interior expectations. The zinc alloy body carries real weight despite the convertible's slender proportions, and the folded or removed top, depending on the exact configuration, leaves the cabin visible in a way few closed coupes of the period offer. As a new model with a new box, the gloss and trim present exactly as intended, with crisp badges and period-correct wheel design. Panel gaps run slightly wider than resin tolerances allow, a standard die-cast trade-off rather than a specific flaw, and one easily overlooked given the elegance of the overall shape.

A Rare Find for French Classic Collectors

The Floride is far less commonly reproduced in scale than mainstream Renault models like the 4L or 12, which makes this casting a genuine discovery for collectors focused on early-1960s European style. At roughly 20cm, it fits well among other compact convertibles from the same decade, and its open-top silhouette provides useful visual contrast against the closed sedans and hatchbacks that dominate most collections. For anyone chasing a complete picture of postwar French design beyond the utilitarian models, this is a worthwhile and relatively uncommon addition at an accessible price.
