Chrysler bought a "substantial interest" in Simca, including Ford Motor Co.'s 15.2% of stock. The Simca, which looks like a kissing cousin to Renault's fast-selling Dauphine, last year almost tripled its U.S. sales to 5,766. Its major models range from the 57-h.p., four-cylinder, 96-in.-wheelbase Aronde, priced at about $1,700 in New York, to the 84-h.p., eight-cylinder...
