Mister Pigozzi wanted his wife to be seen driving a Simca. One day he offered her a black Simca 1000 with a kind of leopard trim. Panhard had a tiger trim in those days. Because she was snobby he asked to the engineers to invent a name for the trim other than plastic or skaï making believe it was a kind of leather! What love can lead you to do… sometimes!
This story has to be confirmed tho!
