Renault Estafette (1962) “La Vache qui Rit”, Hachette, 1/24, Blue/White

The Renault Estafette, launched in 1959, quickly became one of France’s most beloved utility vans — known for its compact size, front-wheel drive layout, and incredible versatility. By the early 1960s, it had become a familiar sight on French roads, serving as everything from postal transport to food delivery vehicle.

This 1:24 scale die-cast model from Hachette captures the 1962 Estafette in a special promotional version featuring the famous “La Vache qui Rit” (The Laughing Cow) cheese brand. Finished in a cheerful blue and white two-tone paint scheme with period-accurate graphics, it brings together mid-century design and nostalgic advertising charm.

From its ribbed side panels and detailed front grille to the authentic rear doors and classic Michelin-style tires, this miniature perfectly reflects the utilitarian character and national affection the Estafette inspired. It’s a standout piece for collectors of French commercial vehicles, retro advertising vans, or vintage die-cast in 1:24 scale.

A slice of French culture on wheels — ideal for display with other iconic promotional models.
