Talk:Simca

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dear Unknown Author of this company history,

A comparison of a model of the defunct Simca to an ex-Soviet Aleko model seems to be too broadly dealt with here with special focus on denial of the ex-Soviets. This part of the article should be cancelled here or transferred to an Aleko page.

[edit] SIMCA : another reference

Dear Author

I looked for SIMCA related to Modelling of class anology. However, I find no refernce on this other than SIMCA cars. I believe this encyclopedia should alos refer to another acronym to SIMCA

more details found on http://www.camo.com/rt/Resources/simca.html

[edit] The Simca Project

Dear All,

I hope this talk page can become the central place for discussing and coordinating all editorial efforts concerning this and all Simca-related articles. Recently, there has been quite some action concerning the creation and expansion of those, and I believe it would good to carry on and try to develop a set of good (or even better), comprehensive articles on this interesting and important chapter of French and European automotive history. There are only a handful of articles, so this should be a manageable and attainable task.

Let me summarize the current state of articles:

  • Simca - the outline of the content is there, but not quite the form and no references

[edit] Models
  • Pre-Aronde Fiat-based Simcas - not yet created
  • Simca Aronde - stub - photos of Aronde 9 and P90 and non-saloon bodystyles missing
  • Simca Vedette - already a Good Article, though some work still needs to be doen (possible WP:FAC) - photos of poor quality
  • Simca Ariane - stub
  • Simca 1000 - a bit bloated stub
  • Simca 1200S Coupé (presumably to include 1000S too) - not yet created (to be determined whether too merge with 1000 or create a separate article)
  • Simca 1300/1500 - also a bloated stub with lots of trivia but not much practical info - photos of estate and 1301/1501 missing
  • Simca 1100 - a rather disappointing stub - only one photo of really poor quality
  • Simca 1307 (incl. related models) - content outline, lack of references, needs expansion - I can provide a photo of the 1307 hatchback, but not other models
  • Matra Bagheera - basic article - photo missing
  • Matra Rancho - basic article - photo of Decouvrable could come in handy
  • Matra Murena - basic article
  • Simca Horizon - a developed article, but a bit of a mess, and unreferenced - there could be a much better photo found

[edit] Engines
  • Fiat engines - not yet created
  • Simca Flash engine - not yet created
  • Simca Rush engine - not yet created
  • Simca Aquillon engine - possibly to be included as a section of Ford Flathead engine, yet to be created
  • Simca Type 315 - to be revised and referenced
  • Simca Type 180 - to be revised and referenced

[edit] Other related

If you would like to join, look for links to good sources in the reference sections of the already-created articles, and of course do your own research! If there is an issue you would like to discuss, do post it here. Merci, Bravada, talk - 21:44, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Simca Chambord Tufão, Esplanada and other models from Simca do Brasil

Hiya all, I'm new to Wikipedia as a contributor. I including today a post about the Simca Chambord (Brazilian model), Esplanada and a piece about Simca do Brasil.

I was wondering how the structure works. Will my contribution be automatically included to the existing Simca Vedete file?

Anyone got sugestion for the rookie here...? =)
