I used to work with a guy who had been a factory driver for Triumph in the early 60s, and he kept his racing jones alive by driving a restored Simca-Abarth in the vintage-racing circuit. It was kinda cool seeing all his photos of sideways Simca action, trading paint with Porsche 356s and the like, and since then I've always liked the Simca 1000. So finding this stirringly macho Spanish ad- which seems to have an Ennio Morricone soundtrack- for the air-cooled French Chrysler has really made my morning. – Murilee Martin
