I have never covered my daily drive's engine with a blanket. It has never failed to start. I have another car in my garage that has a blanket over it, it has not started in 10 years. beware of post hoc ergo propter hoc.

My grandpa had one of those. Same grey colour.
It served him well for many years before replacing it with another Simca.
He religiously covered the engine with a blanket every night, and the car never
failed to start in the morning. Still have to understand why...

Home is Torres Vedras, Portugal. About 40 km north of Lisbon.

The Simca is right. I found it on Google. They had one with a clock in
the steering wheel! Must be funny on a curved road, like they have so
many here:"What time is it?"
"10 to 2, no, 3 o'clock, no 20 to twelve... ;-)

When you refer to "home", it would be nice if you'd tell us where "home" is. The "Aronde" was made by Simca. Signature Tony Cooper - Orlando, Florida
