Sorting through piles of photos and negatives I found this pic of the rear of a house that we purchased in 1975 whilst on leave from teaching in Papua New Guinea. The pic was taken circa 1960 and I wondered what make of car was in the photo. It has an American look to it. Just yesterday I saw a story on line about French cars and recognised the mystery car as a Simca Vedette.
The American style is because the first models were made in the French Ford plant and sold as a Ford Vedette. The French company Simca took over the Ford plant and built more Vedettes, the last model being as pictured below.
