A mighty one: 1950 Simca 8 Sport Convertible

We have never hidden our passion for the Simca 8, and that’s still true even for this particular car which has some special features. Indeed this is not a common Simca equipped with the inline-four, 1100 c.c. engine derived from the contemporary Fiat unit, but a V8-60 flathead Ford engine installed in 1960 with Eddie Meyer… Read More A mighty one: 1950 Simca 8 Sport Convertible

Farina outside: 1950 Simca 8 Sport Cabriolet

In the late ’40’s, the french Simca began to produce the Simca 8 based on the Fiat 1100C chassis and mechanicals. This car was actually almost the exact copy of its italian cousin, the Fiat 1100C by Farina coachworks. Both cars owe a lot to the Cisitalia 202 Cabriolet.

Bug on steroids: 1948 Pontiac 8 Streamliner Coupé

The bigger, the better: this is what’s befittingly to this car. This car features a magnificent streamline design and a color which perfectly matches all those curves.
