Ford Versailles: Meaning (information, definition, explanation, facts)

The Ford Versailles was a car produced by the Ford Motor Company in France between 1955 and 1964, before Ford's French factory was sold to Simca, which was subseqently acquired by Chrysler, and then by Peugeot.

In Brazil, the Ford Versailles was a version of the Volkswagen Santana sold in the 1990s when Ford and Volkswagen shared models in South America in a joint venture known as Autolatina. It replaced the Ford Del Rey in 1992, and was available as a sedan (with two or four doors) and station wagon called the Royale, with only three doors, even though the Volkswagen Quantum on which it was based was available with five doors. It was eventually replaced by the Ford Mondeo.
