The only 1952 Renault 4CV 2-door Convertible by Labourdette?

• 

Leading on from your article, dated 06 July, 2011. about a Renault Dauphine Convertible, which you erroneously labelled "Labourdette", after a famous French coach builder, I came accross this picture of a 1952 Renault 4CV 2-door Cabriolet by Labourdette, shown on a postcard. It is the only picture of this car I have been able to find, although there seem to be many scale model cars produced based on this specific car. I know that Labourdette produced the experimental Vutotal car based on the Renault 4CV in 1950, but, as the firm closed its doors in 1952, does anyone know how many of these Laboudette bodied Renault 4CV's were produced, or would this have been the only one? It seems doubtful that it survived.
