The Renault Towncar was an automobile manufactured between 1929 and 1933 by Renault.
In 1912, William Carter bought the car and was planning to transport it from Southampton, England to New York City trough the RMS Titanic. Carter was saved but the car sunk in the Atlantic. A replica was requested by James Cameron and 20th Century Fox for their motion picture Titanic. They looked for Carter's original documents for the vehicle and the car was recreated almost exactly.
The car was very popular among wealthy Americans.
