The History of Simca: A French Industrial Adventure

Founded in 1934 by Henri Théodore Pigozzi, the Société Industrielle de Mécanique et Carrosserie Automobile (SIMCA) was born out of a licensing agreement with Fiat. This Italian-French collaboration would give rise to models that would profoundly impact the French automotive landscape. The Poissy factory quickly became the symbol of this industrial success.

Simca reached its peak in the 1960s and 1970s , a period during which the brand rose to become one of the major French manufacturers. The Simca 1000, launched in 1961, revolutionized the small car segment with its rear engine and innovative design. It was followed by the 1100, then by the Horizon and Talbot models, which continued the brand's legacy until its absorption by the PSA group.

This golden era of French motoring is reflected in every Simca Model car in this collection, capturing the spirit of innovation and democratization that characterized this pioneering brand.

The Simca Anecdote: When Innovation Meets Popular Culture

A particularly striking anecdote in Simca history concerns the famous Simca 1000. When it was launched in 1961, this car with its revolutionary design and rear engine aroused so much curiosity that Simca organized "urban safaris" in Paris. Caravans of Simca 1000s crisscrossed the streets of the capital, allowing Parisians to discover this technical innovation.

Even more surprisingly, the Simca 1000 became the heroine of many French films of the 1960s, notably in popular comedies starring Louis de Funès. This cinematic presence helped anchor the brand in the French collective imagination, making these models privileged witnesses of an era when the French automobile shone on screens as well as on the roads.
