The Renault 4GTL Wagon 1961 was an evolutionary iteration of the Renault 4 family of cars. Released in 1961, the 4GTL was the first of the 4s to be available as a station wagon. It featured a classic, boxy design with angular lines that gave it an individual look compared to the more rounded designs of other compact station wagons of the period. The 4GTL Wagon was powered by a sprightly 1.1 liter four-cylinder engine that drove the front wheels. It produced 48 horsepower, which gave the 4GTL Wagon adequate performance for daily city or highway driving. The 4GTL Wagon was 143.3 inches long and rode on a wheelbase of 94.5 inches. It sat five passengers comfortably and could fit a sizable load of goods in its spacious trunk. It was one of the most distinctive station wagons of its generation, further reinforced with bright trim lines along the side panels, giving the 4GTL Wagon a stylish touch and flair. Inside the 4GTL Wagon, the dash featured an advanced, vertically-oriented instrument panel with a four-speed shifter mounted to the right of the steering wheel for easy driving. Standard features included a functional ventilation system, a foldable rear bench seat for extra cargo or passenger room, and a curved glass windshield for better visibility. The 4GTL Wagon was also equipped with roll-down windows, large door pockets, a glove compartment, and an AM radio as standard features. Driving the 4GTL Wagon 1961 feels surprisingly light and agile, and its small dimensions make it a great choice for navigating tight city streets or winding roads. It feels solidly built and is easy to maneuver through city and highway traffic, making it a great car for everyday usage.
