Simca

Consumer Discretionary

Simca, the Société Industrielle de Mécanique et Carrosserie Automobile, was a French car maker founded in 1934 by Fiat and run from 1935 to 1963 by the Italian-born Henri Pigozzi. It began by assembling Fiat designs at Nanterre near Paris, then grew into one of the largest French manufacturers after the Second World War, buying Ford's French subsidiary and its Poissy plant in 1954 and taking over the truck makers Unic and Saurer. Chrysler bought control of it in 1963, and in 1970 it became a brand of Chrysler Europe. When Chrysler sold its European business to PSA Peugeot Citroën in 1978, the Simca name disappeared in favour of a revived Talbot. Simca also built cars in Brazil, and its best-known models were the Aronde, the 1000, the 1100 and the Horizon.
