MotoeXotica Classic Cars is pleased to offer the rarely seen 1959 Simca Aronde Oceane Convertible. This small convertible comes to us from the dry state of California and is on an ACTUAL mileage title with low miles. Included with the purchase of this car are many Simca Club documents, newsletters and Standards of Adjustment tune up specifications. Finished in bright red, the paint is in great condition, showing only minor imperfections such as rock chips and small scratches. The body is in good condition, however; it does show some dimpling to the right front quarter panel. The car does show very well still. The black convertible top is in great condition and there is a vinyl window. The chrome shows its age with its fair share of pitting and scratching but still shines bright and shows well. There is a small ding in the center of the front bumper. As a whole, the small convertible shows well! Inside, the interior is finished in black and compliments the brilliant red exterior beautifully. The interior appears to have been reupholstered in the recent past and it looks incredible. The seats are wrapped in black vinyl and look incredible, showing no signs of major wear or tear. The doors panels match the seat and are in comparable condition. It should be noted that the horn is currently inoperable and the windshield is cracked. The dashboard is color matched to the exterior of the car and the dash pad is finished in black. The dash pad does show its age a little bit and shows some cracking but overall, shows well. The dash houses a set of original gauges that look great with an additional aftermarket AutoMeter water temperature gauge mounted below the dashboard. Under the hood, youll find a clean and tidy engine bay. The Simca is powered by a 1.3L overhead valve High Rev Flash Special inline 4 cylinder. As mentioned before, the car does come with Standards of Adjustment tune up specifications paper so that you may properly tune up your vehicle. Mated to the engine is a manual transmission, shifted through the column. The car sits upon a set of 14 steel wheels with chrome hubcaps wrapped in P175/65R14 tires. This car is an excellent driver and is also very fun to drive! As mentioned, the car does come with lots of Simca Club information and the Standards of Adjustment tune up specifications.
