1962, Cars: Simca Coupé 1000 / Simca 1200S

French auto maker Simca introduced the Simca Coupé 1000 at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1962. The rear-engined two-door car was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro at Bertone in Turin, Italy.

Simca provided the water-cooled 4-cylinder 944 cc engine and the mechanical underpinnings from the Simca 1000 Saloon, while the elegant bodies were built in Turin by Bertone. Final assembly took place at Simca's Poissy plant. The Coupé engine featured a higher compression ratio and provided a maximum power output of 38 kW (against 33 kW in the saloon). A maximum speed of 140 km/h was listed (against 125 km/h for the saloon).

In 1967 the car was renamed as the Simca 1200S and fitted with a more powerful 1204 cc engine of 59 kW, allowing a top speed of 175 km/h. The body was upgraded by Bertone with a front grill  now that the radiator was moved to the front of the car while the engine stayed in the back. In 1968 the power increased to 63 kW with a top of 179 km/h. Between 1962 and 1971 approximately 25,000 cars were produced.

Trivia

• The car bodies were transferred from Turin, Italy, to Simca's Poissy plant on specially configured trains.
• Because of capacity problems at the Poissy plant, a total of 3114 1200S were assembled at Chrysler Benelux's assembly plant in Rotterdam.
