Simca Aronde Ranch [P 60], as having two colours? https://classiccarcatalogue.com/SIMCA_1959.html |

I think the '61 versione because the side trim looks to me straight and not curved. |

Maybe Ranch was the export name? |

No, 'Ranch' was used on the French market. |

OK, but others are listed as Aronde P60 Châtelaine, or is Ranch just for the two-tone? |

I can't fully solve the difference but Glass's info has: - Sept 58 Chatelaine estate arrives in UK - apparently the only P60 estate initially available here - Sept 59 two more estates added - Artisanale ("removable rear seat" - poverty version which could become a van when needed??) and Ranch ("Super version of Chatelaine"). Various other revisions across P60 range. - Jan 60 "Ranch station wagon renamed Castel in UK"; this may be the point when Sept 59 revised range actually arrived here if RHD production didn't start immediately?? - July 60 Artisanale discontinued - Oct 61 Chatelaine discontinued in France; Castel last imported to UK - so no more estates available here. - Jan 63 "Castel continued in France" - early 1964 all P60 range discontinued as 1300/1500 began to arrive from late 63 onwards. |
