October
1, 1952, new model with the following
modifications :

(oval), smooth bumpers, aluminium
mouldings around the side and rear
windows.

the driver), driving wheel, glove
compartment (with door and push-button),
rearview mirror (round corners).
Introduction of the quarter lights. Only
3,25 turns are necessary to rolling down
the window (instead of 10,5 before). The
manual starter passes from the chassis to
the dashboard, and the inside light
command of the rear on the left. The
heating command is new, like the electric

engine compartment is sound-proofed.
Mechanically, the gearbox sees its ratios
for 2, 3 and 4 synchronised. Rims 3 x 16
are replaced by rims 4 x15. At the front,
the shock absorbers are longer, like the
torsion bars at the rear, but with a
diameter decreased from 25 mm to 24
mm.

" type is replaced by the
oval
