In May 1953 Autobleu unveiled a custom bodied 4CV-based luxury coupé. The car was the result of a trip to Cannes by Mestivier and Lepeytre in August 1952. While there the two attended a concours délégance and noticed a Lancia with a body design done by Luigi Sègre and Felice Mario Boano of Carrozzeria Ghia in Turin. The four met at the 1952 Salon de l'Auto, where Mestivier and Lepeytre laid out their desire to build a stylish car based on 4CV mechanicals. Ghia delivered a prototype in May 1953. Renault's management was sufficiently impressed to offer Autobleu access to its sales channels. Two examples were on display at the 1953 Salon.
