Simca was a French automobile manufacturer founded in 1934. The company produced a range of vehicles, including compact cars and sports models, and became known for its innovative designs and engineering. Simca was particularly popular in Europe during the mid-20th century. In 1970, Simca was acquired by the Chrysler Corporation, which led to changes in production and branding. The brand continued to operate under the Chrysler umbrella until it was eventually phased out in the 1980s. Today, Simca is remembered for its contributions to the automotive industry and its influence on French car design.
