Talk:Simca 1000

Untitled
Welcome and thanks for your interest in this article! It is now just a stub and could really use input from seasoned editors - or actually all kinds of editors bar outright vandals. Please help yourselves to the very informative sources at the bottom of the pages and add more if you have any! Based on them, you can expand this article further to help it achieve GA or FA status, which this important little car surely deserves. Regards, Bravada, talk - 22:17, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Simca 1000 Coupé
What about the Simca 1000 Coupé ? does it go in a separate article with the Simca 1200 Coupé ?Hektor 17:39, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I didn't have too much information on the Coupes, so I decided not to include them in this article. The solution is either to have the Coupes included in the article or have a separate article on both of them. Separating the Coupes from each other would be rather absurdal IMHO. I'd keep them in a separate article for the time being - perhaps you might start the article?
 * In general, I am not that big a fan of the 1000, so I don't think I will be overly involved with this article, but I really wanted to start it as it was sorely missing - especially now that I got hold of the great pics :D Bravada, talk - 19:25, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Simca 1118
The article is not clear to me. Do you mean that the Simca 1118 is the US version of the Simca 1000 or of the Simca 1100? I think it was the US Simca 1100. Hektor 18:42, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, that's the problem with Simcas - what would technically be one model can go by several names. Although AFAIK no model was explicitly going by the name of "Simca 1100". So the answer will be - probably it was a Simca 1000 with the 1100 engine (or, more precisely, the 1.1-litre or 1118 cc engine). But do check the references, I was writing that in a bit of a hurry - as I said, the article is a pile of rubbish as of now... Bravada, talk - 19:25, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Here is a referenceHektor 19:51, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Pfff... It just occured to my dum-dum tiny brain what actually you have been asking about :D Of course this was a Simca 1000 - the Simca 1100 as such was exported to the US as Simca 1228 or somehing, IIRC. :D Bravada, talk - 21:05, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Legenda for table
I think the table could use a legenda or an update. I think 'ch' means horsepower, and 'F' means French Francs. Pukkie 07:32, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Four-door French cars
I've removed the language in the first paragraph: "...but the car's competitive advantage was that it was the only one to have four doors, rather than just two (save for the Renault Dauphine and, from July 1962, the Renault 8 which, visually, closely resembled the Simca 1000)." Other small French cars with four doors which were in production in all or part of 1961 included the Citroën 2CV, Citroën Ami, Renault 4CV and Renault 4. Citroënist (talk) 16:55, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
 * In fact, I'd be hard pressed to think of a French small car before the 1970s that didn't have four doors, except their coupé, convertible and commercial van versions. 95.33.94.232 (talk)
