kznyc2k: Let's just say that of all the cars your father might have brought home from Williamson's, you prayed that it wouldn't be a Simca. Chrysler imported them from about 1958 to '71. Definitely ladies' cars, like the even less attractive Renault. French cars had a not-undeserved rep as quirky and unreliable; English imports did too, but theirs was mitigated by the cool factor of MG and Austin-Healey roadsters....


3153 W Pico (@ St Andrews) today:

Williamson Motors was on Pico until moving to 4661 W Slauson @ La Brea, now the site of a gas station, around 1961.
