Found a rerun of an ep of Card Sharks from the 80s on GSN. The host said that the contestant had the chance to win a Renault Convertable.
Isn't winning a Renault sort of like winning fifteen cents in the lottery?

| 1. My Mom used to have a Renault Dauphene (sp?) in the late '50's. |
|
It had a sun-roof and was about the size of a VW Bug. It was fun zipping around in it...everyone else was driving big Chevies, Buicks, Fords, etc.

"1984 car of the year"
I grew up in Kenosha - where they were built. Lots of jokes about these cars.
