The SIMCA Océane cabriolet made its appearance at the 1956 Motor Show on the basis of an Aronde. Curiously, the coupe released the same year was named Plein-Ciel, while everyone expected the opposite. The lines do not bring a real revolution compared to the previous models, the proportions are the same, on the other hand one passes on a tenser style: the roundings are less numerous, the front grill is larger, one approaches an American style what pushes some to compare the small French with the Ford Thunderbird! The car we present is in good condition with a sound body, the leather interior is new, the black canvas top has been completely redone. Equipped with 4 Robergel spoke wheels with 155 R 15 Toyo tires, and drum brakes, this convertible is a nice favorite and will seduce enthusiasts.
