The Simca 8 was introduced by Simca in 1937, standing out as one of the brand's most important models in the pre and post-war periods. This car was offered in versions such as a sedan, cabriolet, van, and the Sport designed by Facel Metallon. It was powered by a 1089 cc inline four engine, with a power of 32hp in the basic version, and 50hp in the Sport variant with a 1221cc engine. Its simple yet elegant design and reliability made it popular in France, being a crucial model in Simca's expansion into the French automotive industry. The Simca 8, that was produced until 1952, laid the foundation for the brand's subsequent success, and its sport and luxury variants.
