In the fifties of the last century, Renault attempts the American adventure. First, by introducing the Dauphine to the United States. The French model was well received, at first, but later it would end up becoming clear that the peculiarities of that market were insurmountable for the French model. Similarly, the Regie had set another goal, South America, specifically the markets of Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina.
In the latter country, Industrias Kaiser Argentina, better known as IKA, emerged in 1955. Created by the North American constructor Kaiser, its objective was the local construction of automobiles in order to face protectionist laws. Renault finds it interesting to associate with IKA, to take advantage of the good poster of this firm.
