DynaMike ◊ 2015-01-29 20:59	This Vedette was presented on September 15th 1954 as Ford, and until 1 December that year 1067 Vedettes were built with Ford as make. Then they changed to Simca, and until October 1955 some 27.000 Simca Vedettes were made. So almost sure this is a Simca, indeed. And yes, in some export markets (like Holland and Germany) the car was sold as Ford even after that date, because of the 'better' name of Ford... -- Last edit: 2015-01-29 21:00:55
