CAR DESCRIPTION FROM SELLER
Description Please read the entire description and view all photos before bidding.You are looking at a Vintage Survivor 1948 Simca Cabriolet. It has been stored for much of it's life in the USA in a clean Wisconsin garage. This vehicle was customized by a local bodyshop in Milwaukee in the 1950s and we would call it a hotrod or ratrod. We are unsure of the model and what is original. It will require a complete restoration or make it a ratrod. This vehicle was owned by the previous family since the 1950s. Please scroll down and enjoy the 60+ photos. If you cannot view all the photos, please click According to automotive sources, Simca (Société Industrielle de Mécanique et Carrosserie Automobile; Mechanical and Automotive Body Manufacturing Company) was a French automaker, founded in November 1934 by Fiat and directed from July 1935 to May 1963 by Italian Henri Théodore Pigozzi. Simca was affiliated with Fiat and, after Simca bought Ford's French activities, became increasingly controlled by the Chrysler Group. In 1970, Simca became a subsidiary and brand of Chrysler Europe, ending its period as an independent company. Simca disappeared in 1978, when Chrysler divested its European operations to another French automaker, PSA Peugeot Citroën. PSA replaced the Simca brand with Talbot after a short period when some models were badged as Simca-Talbots.Condition Report:This vehicle was stored for years and is in need of a complete restoration. The photos show the condition, including minor surface rust on the frame, as well as the quarters, etc. It is not for the faint of heart and will also need a full mechanical restoration. There is evidence of old mouse nests and we do not know the condition of the motor but it is free and turns which is a great sign. We do know it was driven into the garage so it did run when it was stored am long time ago. It does not run and we did not want to turn it over until properly prepped.The good news is the rarity. Find another one, especially a convertible. It deserves to be restored. We are unsure how much of the body is original, factory, or custom. We were not able to find a VIN tag but the title shows a VIN of 852251. The title is a clear WI title in the consignor's name. Additional auction information: This vehicle needs a full restoration or used for parts and is being sold as-is without warranty or set aside. It should be considered a major project. Any of these should be trailered to their destination until the vehicle is checked over for safety (tires, etc).
