I think that is called, "A purge of sour."[)]

I have fond memories of doing zany teen-ager antics in a Simca[]. One of my boyhood buddies used to use his Mom's Simca all the time when we were out razin' heck[}]. It was either that or his Dad's 61 Rambler American.
Buddy's name was Bob as well and I remember Bob would stomp the pedal in that little, flathead-powered American and the two of us would exaggeratingly feign being being thrown over the seat backs by the "pretend" acceleration.[:I]

I had a Simca for my first car,, tiny little four door, get away car for watermelon stealing, doing the booneys we hit a bird while airborne, carrying seven people was commom, sniffle,.

Simcas were imported by Chrsyler in the early-mid 60s as part of the first "compact" ar boom. In fact, I think the firms was the French arm of Chrysler...like Rootes in the U.K.

I agree with you there. I've looked at every model car Stude ever built, trying to figure out what this thing fits. Then I thried to think of every other car that starts with a "s". Never heard of a Simca though. Once again, thanks for clearing that up. Should have knew that you would have known...

I doubt you could get 50 cents for it on ebay. [xx(] It's worth more than that just to snag folks by asking them what model Stude it fits![:0][]

THANKS Mr. Biggs! I've been wondering that for 5 years or so now! I paid all of 2 dollars for it. Is it worth anything?

I've got a couple of those hub caps Matt. They're for a Simca. A french-built import of the early 60s.

Since I collect Stude hub caps, I've had several folks kindly contribute one of those to my display.[B)] Nice gesture and I DO have a couple of different versions just because they DO look like they belong on a Stude![}]

BTW, that hubcap is made of aluminum, and is about 10" in diameter. Does anyone know what it fits? Thanks.

Everyone knows about the old Erskine factory that burned down in
Detroit, right? This old pully came out of there, looks like it got a
little hot...
