Simca Alvorada
The Simca Alvorada was a stripped version of the Simca Chambord automobile, the first model to be built by Simca do Brasil. The Chambord, which was a direct copy of the French built Simca Vedette, had first left the production line in March 1959 and featured an engine, 3 speed gearbox with the shifter located on the steering column and was assembled with parts imported from France. It was a large car, manufactured until 1969 in different versions (including the Alvorada) and styled by the Brazilian subsidiary of French automaker Simca at their factory in São Bernardo do Campo, Brazil. Alvorada - a name with a vengeance The Simca Alvorada was a radically stripped down version based on the posh Simca Chambord as a result of a demand by the Brazilian government of president Juscelino Kubitcheck that every car manufacturer must offer an affordable basic version within their range. The idea was to give as many Brazilians as possible the possibility to own a car. The concept of a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Simca Do Brasil
Simca do Brasil was a subsidiary of the now defunct French automaker Simca and started out in the late 1950s assembling the Simca Vedette imported in kit form from France and selling it in three versions, the Chambord, Présidence and Rallye. Later the Company manufactured the radically restyled Esplanada with improved engines and, with increasing control by the Chrysler Group over the French concern, was taken over by the American car giant as majority share holder. During its ten years of market presence Simca defended its market share against fierce competition from Volkswagen, Ford, Chevrolet and Willys. The brand disappeared from the Brazilian Market in the late 1960s following a strategic decision by its owners Chrysler. Foundation The Simca plant received a visit by Juscelino Kubitschek before his inauguration as president in 1956, organized by a Brazilian General who had a family member employed in Poissy. Kubitschek jokingly invited Simca to build a plant in Minas Gerais ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Álvaro Casal Tatlock
Álvaro (, , ) is a Spanish, Galician and Portuguese male given name and surname (see Spanish naming customs) of Visigothic origin. Some claim it may be related to the Old Norse name Alfarr, formed of the elements ''alf'' "elf" and ''arr'' "warrior", but the absence of Visigothic names containing the particle "alf" or "elf" evident in Kremer's Onomastik suggests that it may come from other forms, like "all" and maybe "ward".
