Whoa.

Renault was like Mercedes,  they produced cars from the very bottom tier of the market to the very top tier of the market.   I would say this is the Model A Ford tier.

It would certainly be the only one at a cruise in.

Starter motor has a higher horsepower rating than the engine……..

"it was in the Harrah's Auto collection in Reno Nevada until 1965 when the collection was sold off " 

Harrah did occasionally sell things but the auction was (by very fallible memory) in 1982. One of those time I really wished I was rich.
