Model promoted by Hélène Boucher[edit]

It is somewhat unclear to me which Renault product Hélène Boucher was hired to promote: the Renault Viva Grand Sport, or the Renault Vivasport, or both. Several references say it was the Viva Grand Sport, including Renault's own animated web site at https://theoriginals.renault.com/en/viva-grand-sport. The French language wikipedia pages for Boucher and Riffard both cite a reference that says it was the Vivasport, and others sources make the same connection, such as https://www.yermenonville.fr/Helene_Boucher.htm. Period photos and advertisements exist that show Boucher in an aviator's helmet and goggles driving what is described as, and clearly is, a Vivasport, including one image available on wikimedia at File:Renault Viva Boucher.jpg. At present, for the sake of its relevance to this article and Riffard's work, I have cited references that assert that she was hired to promote the Viva Grand Sport.
