Leif in Calif Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Someone suggested we see some "foreign" cars... The V8 is a Ford Flathead 60 with a slightly longer stroke, built under license. https://www.leboncoin.fr/offre/voitures/2437546158 Simca Vedette Regence from 1955. Aquilon V8 engine. Often used for club and other outings. Some finishing touches needed to make it look superb. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

58L-Y8 Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 (edited) Daniel: The Aquilon V8 engine is the V8-60 Ford flathead? If you'd like to read one of the most convoluted tales of how an engine can work its way through multiple manufactures and decades, this is one of the best.

John_S_in_Penna Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 I think this Simca has very good styling: The 2-tone side profile is tasteful, and the front grille is beautiful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
