“History only remembers the names of those who know how to violate their own destiny, this is what the Emperor [Napoleon] and my father taught me, one by explaining it and the other by demonstrating it.”

— Charles de Gaulle in a letter to his children, 1936, (Bruno Ledoux Collection)

Simca Vedette Presidence Cabriolet, 1957, by Chapron. The V8-engined Vedette was Simca's large luxury car that had its origins in Ford's French subsidiary which Simla acquired in 1954. The Simca mimicked American styling with some sales success. French coachbuilder Henri Chapron built this 4-door convertible based on the second generation Vedette for President Charles de Gaulle and subsequently the Presidence model name was used for the flagship version of the car featuring a luxurious interior, a radiotelephone (a European first).
