Strangely it was marketed as an Autobleu rather then a Renault, an Abarth or a Boano.

Grabbed from the internet, this car puzzles me!  If it is  captioned at all,  it's referred to as a "Mercédès 300".  It has a touch of Chapron about it, but that logo has got me befuddled.  What do you think???

Here's the Chapron-bodied Renault Fregate.
The logo on the grille looks quite similar; is it a Renault or Chapron logo?!
