The posh Vendôme version of the Vedette got its extra shove from a 3.9-litre Mistral V8 — an engine first designed for Ford France trucks, not its cars.
In postwar France, where fuel and taxes punished big engines, Ford's Vedette stood alone — it was the only French car of its era built around a V8.
