Ingo ◊ 2009-10-26 08:28	Was "Pie" a nickname? In Germany the 4 CV was called "Cremeschnittchen" (translateable as "little cream-cake"), due the colour of the first ones. -- Last edit: 2009-10-26 08:28:50
marioman3138 ◊ 2009-10-26 08:51	I'd love to throw a pie at it I so want to throw a cream pie at a car...
G-MANN ◊ 2009-10-26 09:05	Was "Pie" an official name?
BeanBandit ◊ 2009-10-26 09:37	It is magpie, the colours, you see. Also Dauphine: /vehicle_226186-Renault-Dauphine-1961.html and 8: /vehicle_222338-Renault-8-1962.html -- Last edit: 2009-10-26 09:40:00

G-MANN ◊ 2009-10-26 18:42	Well the sticking-out tongue smiley was really because I thought it was a funny name, rather than me accusing you of being wrong. I don't know this car at all, naturally someone like you would be more familiar with this since these would have been on the roads when you were growing up Also I haven't watched many films set in France in the 50s & 60s. -- Last edit: 2009-10-26 18:44:49
sixcyl ◊ 2009-10-26 18:58	I was very young when these 4CV were used by Police and I think they had been replaced by Dauphine and R8 in the first half of the sixties , therefore this one should be one of the latest in service in 1963. If I'm not wrong, they were specially designed for "Prefecture de Police de Paris". Therefore I don't remember having seen any in my loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong life ... At this time I lived in Bordeaux, ...better known for its good wines
chris40 ◊ 2009-10-26 21:25	Petite histoire de la 4CV ‘Pie’ pour mes amis francophones: http://modelstories.free.fr/photoscopes/4CV_PIE/index.html Étant même plus vieux que Jean-Marc, je me souviens des ‘Pie’ à Paris en 1953 ...
sixcyl ◊ 2009-10-26 22:01	Merci Chris40! La couleur 'Pie' a été prolongée pour les voitures de police jusqu'au début des années 80 , avec les Renault 11, 18 et autres Simca Horizon. Me tromperais-je toutefois en affirmant que cette couleur fut réservée au véhicules de la Police parisienne? j'avoue que je ne me rappelle pas comment étaient les véhicules de provinces à cette époque Ensuite vinrent les couleurs blanches avec bandes latérales bleu/blanc/rouge barrés d'un POLICE en gros caractère. une livrée qui se généralisa sur le tout le territoire par la suite. Commentaires?
