We have one listed as 'break' :
/vehicle_826756-Simca-8-Break-1948.html

But wasn't the official designation for these half-steel/half-wooden variants - 'canadienne' ? :

Another sheet, where it's referred to as 'Commerciale' :

Though oddly, with the wooden doors it's referred to as 'Le breack'.

Perhaps the models which had wooden doors were known as 'Break', whereas the ones with the wooden rear only were known as 'Commerciale' ??
