A french car designed by an Italian, Bertone here, this is not uncommon. 4 Cylinders, 1 liter, 52 HP, this is not a quick one, but wow, what a charm! Best, Nicolas ...

It was very popular, in the 60's in France. But totally forgotten.

Looks like a slick little ride. From the Chrysler-Simca era (1970 forward)? Fiat powered?

No, Simca powered. From the end 50's early 60's. AFAIK.

Yes, I think so.

Just going to guess… No air conditioner?￼

ROFL! Hell no!

A blast from the past. A slow blast!

Yes, indeed. ;)
