Today's piece of useless information, the Renault 4L, introduced in 1961 was so called because it was classified as having 4CV fiscal, due to its engine size of 747cc (My Austin is silmilarly classified on its "carte grise") The 'L' designation referred to the word "Limousine" and its six light body. Nothing to do with "Quatre Ailes" (four wings)although it does have the nickname "Quatrelle" which is a French way of saying 4L. They made more than 8 million of them.
