It was first presented at the first Simca factory in Nanterre on March 10, 1936, three months before the Italian version, and 46,472 examples were produced. Simca's management explained: "We are ahead of the wishes expressed on the other side of the Rhine", alluding to Volkswagen's future German "Beetle", which would not be launched until 1938. The Simca 5 we're offering has belonged to the same owner since 1991.
