Photo Gallery «Simca 8 from 1950 - it's all been there before»
The Simca 8, which was produced in over 110,000 units between 1937 and 1951, was a licensed version of the Fiat 508C 1100 Balilla, but moved away from it towards the end of production before being replaced by the Simca Aronde. With counter-rotating doors without a B-pillar, independent front suspension and hydraulic brakes, it had a modern look and was very popular with fans of sporty saloons. This vehicle report traces the history of this successful model and shows it in over 50 current and historical illustrations. The many sales/press documents, which even cover the Fiat 508 C, are a real treat!
