no way.  this is nuts!
Back in the 80's I used to explore the local (So Cal) mountains fairly
often.  If I saw a dirt road that wasn't locked up, I checked it out.
Once I found an abandoned farm/homestead in the grassy hills just
south of Gorman.  Dilapidated house, barn, farm gear and 2 tiny old
cars that I could not
believe even existed, let alone been in use at this old place.  Both
in fairly complete condition with a tag on the firewall that said
"Simca".
I scratched my head and tried to figure out where the hell a Simca
came from.  France?  Since it was so weird-looking, in my mind it
could only be French.
Tiny little motor, cute little gauges, 3 lug wheels (if I remember
right).  
Mystery solved!  Thanks Charles.

have
any additional information?
