My Dad and my sister besides his new Simca roadster, in the 50's, somewhere in France. Dad a good pilot who drove very fast until my sister turned sick! (About 15 minutes) View full size.
Looking at the license plate of the car, that "somewhere" might possibly have been in the Gironde, #33 of the Departments of France, the Aquitaine region.
Nice looking car. Simca 8 Sport. It was quite expensive for those times, priced at $3495. Eight didn't stand for the engine size though as you might think. It was a four cylinder producing a whopping 50 horsepower. Zero to 60 mph in 27.3 seconds and a top speed of 76 mph. But back in those days it felt faster. Good for your sister he didn't have a Jaguar.
