Congrats. One of the 6 type 59 build ! i had been to monthléry several times during bugatti outings in my youth. I still get chills thinking of the vibrations from the side of the track when the compressor kicks in. My grandfather had a type 37A between two wars, he sold it when he got married... da
the car was launched in 1951 by ford societe anonyme france based on the vedette and manufactured by facel-metallon at colombes as the simca 8 sport who is also a nice design in a smaller car. Ford saf will be acquired by simca which will sell the last units built under the name simca comete in 1954
