Solved: Wendax 1137 - Simca Vedette Chambord with Indenor Diesel engine

[Wendax]

Tailfins.

For one point, please respond and identify this car.

[AlexFrance]

Looks like a Simca Vedette Chambord.

[Wendax]

Yes, correct, but as this is AutoPuzzles, to grant a point I want to know more. This Vedette has been modified. Guess what has been done to the car, it's not the only Vedette that has received this treatment.

[AlexFrance]

Was it really modified per se, or is it one of the Vedettes that were manufactured in Brazil?

[Wendax]

It is a French Vedette that had a big, but hardly visible aftermarket modification.

[AlexFrance]

Si I guess it must have something to do with the engine, right?

What about a diesel engine in place of the fuel-unsavy V8?

[Wendax]

Yes, that's the modification done to this gas guzzler. Name the diesel engine's maker and the point is yours.
Locked for you.

[AlexFrance]

Perkins?

[Wendax]

No, still locked for one more try. Think local.

[AlexFrance]

Since Peugeot was among the first manufacturers to offer diesel cars in France, my answer is: Peugeot!

[Wendax]

Not a Peugeot engine, but very close as the engine in question is connected to the Peugeot Diesel.

[AlexFrance]

So it must be from Citroën since both companies used similar diesel engines.

[Wendax]

No

Open for all rookies again.

[Majeko]

La société Indenor – acronyme de « société industrielle de l'Est et du Nord »

[Wendax]

Oui, monsieur! One more point for you, Majeko.

Bad luck, Alex.

[Majeko]

Merci, Wendax. Bad luck Alex, but you will be an expert soon. Plenty puzzles out there.
