It featured the customary 84 hp (63 kW) engine, 3 speed gearbox with the shifter located on the steering column and was assembled from parts imported from France. In November 1966 Simca introduced the Esplanada at the Salão do Automóvel, Brazil's sole motor show, as a replacement for the Chambord. * v * t * e
