How about a Vignale Simca with the Ford engine?

Does the Ford "involvement" involve the motor?

Too late  :(

Nevertheless some more info:
Cisitalia Ford 808 Coupé, one of three 808 built in 1953 on the standard Ford chassis with six-cylinder engine. This one has a steel body, designed by Aldo Brovarone and built by Vignale. This car was scrapped early because of structural weakness.

One 808, the 808 XF, was built in 1952 on a shortened chassis, equipped with a Mercury V8 and fitted with a Ghia body: http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=11375.0

The other two 808 on standard chassis and with a six cylinder engine were also built in 1953.

They were the Vignale Roadster: http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=5805.0

and the aluminium coupe with unknown design origins, which was posted here before as a 1952 Vignale:

Right! And it's the lost Brovarone styled steel body as correctly mentioned by Wendax.
