Who knows this car?

One point only for the correct basis car AND the coachbuilding company.

LOCKED for you!

Who did the convertible conversion?

ropat53 · June 03, 2013, 02:10:56 PM

Chapron

No.

You´ve got three more guesses.

Simca factory convertible conversion from four door sedan.

grobmotorix · June 04, 2013, 03:53:52 PM

No. Two more guesses.

This is very frustrating, I've found pictures of a few cars, not many, but who made the conversion is never mentioned, even in Simca Club forum, so if it is a French coachbuiled, I'll have to try my next best guess, Figoni, they were responsible for the earlier Aronde cabriolets.

Well, this might be a little bit tricky, because the coachbuilder is not french...

But very well known - maybe just try to find the country first.

May I book the first answer when Ropat shouldn't get the right answer?

I finally found it, it's von Deutschland: Simca Vedette Chambord von Karmann (1959) - Internationale Automobilausstellung (IAA) in Frankfurt 1959

grobmotorix · June 05, 2013, 05:18:43 PM

Finally - this is a very well deserved point for you.

ropat53 · June 05, 2013, 05:35:27 PM

Thank you, as soon as I stopped thinking French, I immediately recognized the Karmann badge on the front mudguard.
