Simca Vedette

Not strictly a nameplate at this point, but a series of V8-powered large cars from Simca developed by Ford France. Ford divested its French operations to Simca and the cars were launched with the Simca badge in 1954, with various model names denoting the different trim levels. The Vedette continued in Brazil under various names there, including the Simca Chambord, and was facelifted to become the Simca Regente and Esplanada in the mid-1960s.
