No rookies around. As this is a very easy puzzle, I will only accept a completely correct answer and I will grant no locks.

The square license plate and the lack of extra US bumper make me think that it could be a Renault 17 TL sold in Canada.

Is it a Renault 17 that has been sold outside of France ?

Yes, the number 17 seems to be regarded as an unlucky one in Italy. So Renault choose to rename the 17 to 177:
