In 1962 the side air intakes were dropped, there was an air intake on top of the rear bonnet, the wheels got holes, and the car was called Floride S or, on some markets and for the new 4-seater coupé, Caravelle. In 1963 all models were called Caravelle 1100, 'Caravelle' written on the front facia, and the front indicators became rectangular. In 1966 they became Caravelle S, recognisable by the sporty steering wheel. This one has plain sides, wheels with holes and still the old, round front indicators, terefore it is a 1962 (only) Floride S (except when they used the caravelle name in Japan...?). I leave you an extra picture of the steering wheel http://www.fotosdecarros.com/tag/caravelle/ The music band is British. I have not got info from where the music video was filmed but I assume it was not in US. 1962 Renault Caravelle S Cabriolet?. -- Last edit: 2011-08-29 10:10:57

Though I cannot see it very well I guess there are air intakes on the sides and the dashboard is in the same grey metallic colour as the body. That would make it a 1961 only Floride (tout court).
