SIMCA VEDETTE
Saloon, estate car.
Former French Ford with that depressing little flathead V8. Facelifted (complete with fins) for 1958. On UK market from '56:; Ferlec clutch option '58; overdrive available from '59. Little to recommend it. Ariane (Vedette hull, Aronde engine) mercifully not sold here - introduced 1957 and deleted 1963, two years after V8 Vedettes.
