The Renault type CB Towncar is an automobile manufactured between 1912 and 1933 by Renault.
In 1912, William Carter bought one and was planning to transport it from Southampton, England to New York City on the RMS Titanic. Carter was saved but the car sunk in the Atlantic.[1] A replica was requested by James Cameron and 20th Century Fox for their motion picture Titanic.[2] They looked for Carter's original documents for the vehicle and the car was recreated almost exactly.
