I know it was a renault 35 hp automobile owned by passenger William Carter, perhaps that helps? I am not sure about model name, specifying 1912 renault should do.
Hope that helps ;) |

Thanks Stick, I will certainly have some info when I search the model dealers.
How exciting working for Paramount, I could live in the theatre/cinema if I had the opportunity. Hmmm maybe I should start a movie theatre in my home town, now there's a thought and perhaps just run all titanic doco's...... I'm not obsessed-really |

According to the info I just read, William Carter's Renalt had a 25 horsepowered engine under the hood. It was listed on the manifest as "1 case auto." which leads many to speculate that the car wasn't fully assembled. After Titanic sank, William filed for $5,000 for the loss of the car.
$5,000 for a car! I paid @ $10,500 for My '98 Kia Sephia! Of coarse, money was different back then. They didn't have inflation like we have today! I've been digging thru all my info (books and so on), and still can't find the Renalt model (most just say "auto"). If I find anything that may shed some light on this 'mystery Renalt', I'll post it asap! |

Everyone is just so helpful and friendly around here, thanks so much to you all for your help. I've been trying to find out about this car for about 5 years now so it is good to be finding all this info.
