Codenamed ‘C6’ from the Start
During its development the Simca 1307 was referred to internally as “C6”. This codename stayed with the model throughout its life, even as it changed hands between manufacturers.
A Model That Switched Brands
The car was marketed by Chrysler Europe from its debut in 1975 until 1979, after which PSA Peugeot Citroën took over sales until the end of production in 1986. It was also sold under several other badges, including Simca 1308, 1309 and 1508.
The British ‘Chrysler Alpine’ and Rare Variants
An Anglicized version called the Chrysler Alpine (also based on the C6) began production at Ryton in 1976, prompting the relocation of Avenger production to Linwood, Scotland. A special 1979 Chrysler 150 GT (C6) built by Chappe et Gessalin featured a plastic‑fiberglass composite body, with only 95 examples made, making it one of the rarest variants of the line.
