I'd say the 1960 Renault Caravelle Fusée Butagaz by Pourtout

You have more detail that I do! This one was Propagaz-liveried, not Butagaz, but the point is yours!

This publicity car was used both by Propagaz and Butagaz.  Six "Fusée" took part at the 1960 Tour de France Publicity Caravan. Three were forPROPAGAZ (red and grey) and three for BUTAGAZ (dark blue and light blue).  Each had a different number.

For one point, please respond and identify this car by telling what it is based on, who was the coachbuilder and when was it built for whom?

I think it's a Renault Caravelle by Chapron, 1960 (presumably designed by Charbonneaux)

Yes, you think right. Tell me for whom this car was built, and the point is yours. Locked, of course.

You mean which company? Butagaz, for the 1960 TdF (the one next to it has Propagaz signage but I'm not an expert on the French gas companies, so I assume it is the same firm - I know 6 were made, three in each livery)

Perfect answer. Butagaz and Propagaz were two different marques of the company URG, which changed its name to Butagaz in the 1980's.

Another point for you.
