The exact designation beeing "Simca Sport Week-end" and appeared with this new grill on the model 1953. There was a coupé at the same time named Simca Sport Coupé de Ville". In 1956 the model changed again with panoramic windscreen, lower body...the cabriolet was named "Oceane" and the coupé "Plein Ciel"
