The Simca Présidence was the most luxurious model of the Vedette family. It joined the range in 1959 as the new top of the line, with a luxurious interior, a radiotelephone that was a European first and a continental kit. The French coachbuilder Chapron built two two-door convertibles on it for the governor of a French colony, and the following year two four-door convertibles for the French President Charles de Gaulle. Simca do Brasil also built the Présidence as the top-end model of its Brazilian range, where 848 were produced before the Esplanada replaced the whole line.
