    Renault Caravelle In Portland: No, Ralph, It's Not A Corvair!

    This is Down On The Street Bonus Edition, where we check out interesting street-parked cars located in places other than the Island That Rust Forgot. Now that we've started the week with a French DOTSBE car, we might as well keep it going with another. JasonTorch (of Team Make:Way fame) was up in Oregon and found this miraculously unrusty-looking Caravelle parked on the Portland street. Make the jump to see the rest of the gallery and hear what Jason has to say about this fine piece of French automotive history.

    Renault Caravelle Down On The Portland Street

    This one certainly seemed to be a daily driver, in an unassuming grey that camouflaged it perfectly with the dank skies of Portland. I bet from the right angle all you'd see are lights and chrome.
