Before the Aronde arrived in 1951, Simca had built its reputation producing Fiat-based cars under license. But then came a completely new French-designed automobile that would transform the company's future. The 1951 Simca Aronde was Simca's first original passenger car design, marking a major turning point in French automotive history. With its modern body, practical engineering, and attractive styling, the Aronde quickly became one of France's most successful family cars. By the mid-1950s, the Simca Aronde had become a major force in the French automobile market. Its commercial success helped Simca rise to become France's second-largest automaker by production volume during the decade, behind Renault and ahead of Peugeot and Citroën in 1959.
