[5] The Emi-Sul engine was derived from the Ford Motor Company flathead V8 of 1932, thanks to the use of Zora Arkus-Duntov's "Ardun" hemispherical cylinder heads.

[7] Though the Chambord's engine and central section were retained, the Esplanada featured radically restyled front and rear ends.

[3] After sending a copy of the Esplanada to Detroit for review and testing, changes dictated by Chrysler headquarters lead to improvements for 53 mechanical details being introduced in April 1968.

[9] In 1968 a sporty version of the Esplanada called the Simca GTX was introduced at the Salão do Automóvel in São Paulo.

[11] The production of the Esplanada, the Regente, and the GTX ceased in 1969 when Chrysler introduced the larger Dodge Dart to the Brazilian market.
