Renault Encore (1983-87), the 3 door version of the Renault Alliance.  Born from the merger of AMC and Renualt, the Encore was built in Kenosha, Wisconsin. It was originally designed to be an AMC, but later rebadged as a Renault, with clinics proving it was the preferred nameplate.  With the majority of the vehicle sourced and built in America, it is probably the only French car that qualified as a US domestic vehicle.  This one is well preserved, though certainly not original.  

Seen in NE Portland.
