Chrysler Europe wasn't successful but Simca was selling well in Belgium. The small hatchback 1100 was the most popular model by 1974, with the 1300/1500 medium/large sedan was consistent in volume. The small 1000 (picture above) was coming toward the end of its life and I presume the 1200 was a sports coupe which was in runout mode at this time.
The Chrysler-Simca 160/180/2L is listed here, although not a Simca product. It was mainly designed in the UK and built in France and then later in Spain. It was also the basis for the Centura model in Australia. European sales were affected by strong competition from more established manufacturers such as Ford and GM.
